Made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, these squares look as impressive as they taste, and you will love that they are naturally sweetened.

This no bake recipe is easy to make and bursting with flavor, using good-for-you ingredients. The perfect portion-controlled treat for an any time healthy snack or dessert! Or any time you're craving a little something sweet.!

Creamy and delicious, this recipe is nothing like a regular cheesecake. Instead of using cream cheese and sugar, this is made with cashews, coconut cream and flavoured with cocoa and vanilla.

The cashews are soaked until they become plump and moist.They are then thrown in a blender with coconut cream to form the irresistible filling for the slice.  It makes me excited that such a beautiful and delicious creation can be made purely from natural ingredients.

I love that you don’t have to use your oven, and they are just the right size to satisfy a sweet tooth without over indulging. Creamy, slightly tart, perfectly sweet, and 100% irresistible. Better than real cheesecake and the perfect healthy, simple dessert to feed a crowd (or just you).

A cross between a cupcake and cheesecake and these squares make a delicious handheld, four bite, sweet treat for parties, brunch, potlucks, family gatherings and are a real crowd pleaser.

They are as cute as they are delicious. Individual little cheesecake squares with a classic chocolate nutty base and a rich creamy and silky cashew based centre topped with a chocolate drizzle swirl.

They are sure to be a hit and you will be asked for the recipe.

Or you can keep this beauty for yourself. Simply cut into small pieces and store them in the freezer to have on hand when you crave something sweet and chocolatey at night when you can relax for a moment and enjoy something yummy just for you.

Ingredients

Base Crust

• 1 cup almonds
• 1 cup dates, soaked 30 minutes and drained
• 1/2 cup oats, instant or quick
• 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

Cashew Chocolate Mousse

• 2 cups cashews, soaked 3+ hours and drained
• 1 13.5 oz can coconut cream, full fat (solid part only) *see note below
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Drizzle

• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

Base Crust

• Note: Place the can of coconut cream or milk in the fridge or freezer for at least 1-2 hours before making these bars to allow coconut cream to separate.

  Make the crust first. Line an 8 x 8” baking pan or dish with parchment paper on the bottom and sides leaving some overhanging to act as a handle to get the bars out easier for cutting.

  Place almonds into a food processer and process until broken down and crumbly. Add dates, oats, coconut and cocoa powder and continue to process until mixture is sticky and well combined.

  Be careful not to over process as its nice to have texture variance and different sized “bits” in your cheesecake base.

  Press the base mixture into the bottom of your pan or dish evenly. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.

   

Cashew Chocolate Mousse

• Open chilled can and scoop out the cream that has separated and set hard on the top. Save the remaining coconut water to use in a smoothie, drink, or discard.

  Place all filling ingredients, cashews, coconut cream, cocoa powder, coconut oil honey and vanilla extract into the food processor and process until smooth and creamy.

  Depending on the power of your blender this might take a few minutes. Stop blending to scrape the sides and continue to blend until very smooth. Taste test and add more honey if you think it needs it.

  Pour the filling over the chilled crust and spread evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon, then place back in the refrigerator.

   

Chocolate Drizzle

• Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave at 50% power with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.

  Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.

  Once melted drizzle the chocolate with a spoon over the slice and cut into 16 bars or more smaller squares. Top with fresh fruit or your favourite toppings.

  Store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months.
