i love strawberries. thats a fact. i also LOVE cheese. that is a well known fact. looking in my fridge and pantry on the weekend, i decided to make some tasty (yet slightly ever so healthy) treats. these little beauties are really easy to make, no cooking required and are gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free plus, (amazingly) are delicious.
ingredients.
base in your face:
1 cup almond meal
1/2 cup buckinis
1/2 cup desiccated coconut
1/2 cup dates
1/4 cup cacao powder
1/4 cup rice malt syrup
creamy bit:
2 cups cashews (soaked for at least 4 hours)
3/4 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup rice malt syrup
1tsp vanilla
decorate with at least a cup of strawberries (just buy a punnet and eat the remainders.)
step to it:
1. Put all the base ingredients into a food processor and (you guessed it) process. Mixture should stick together. Press the base evenly into either one large 10 inch springform pan or 12 mini cheesecakes moulds, and refridgerate.
2. to make the creany bit, drain cashews & blend in the food processer with the coconut milk, rice malt syrup and vanilla until smooth. Pour the filling over the base and freeze for 4 hours.
3. When ready to eat, slice up the strawberries and decorate on top and serve with your favourite cup of tea.
