Exceptionally decadent and is guaranteed to please any guest. A real food, nourishing treat that tastes far from good for you

Yields1 ServingDifficultyIntermediate

Base

1 cup pepitas (preferably activated)

3 tbsp coconut oil melted

1/2 cup Changing Habits Dates

A pinch of Changing Habits Seaweed Salt

Middle

1 cup Changing Habits Dates

1 cup cashews (soaked for 6-8 hours)

1/2 cup tahini

1/2 cup Changing Habits Coconut Oil - melted

1/4 cup filtered water

2 tsp Homemade Vanilla Essance

A pinch of Changing Habits Seaweed Salt

Garnish

1/2 cup Changing Habits Cacao Melts

Line a spring-form cake tin with baking paper

In a high powered blender, blitz the base ingredients until all well combined and not completely smooth

Press mixture down firmly down into cake tin, until evenly dispersed and place in the freezer

Rinse out your blender and add all the base ingredients

Blend on high until smooth, spooning down the mix as you go. If the mix is too thick for your blender to mix until super smooth, add a splash more water.

Spoon out and evenly spread over the base. Crush or blitz approximately 1/2 cup of cacao melts in blender, leaving it still with quite a bit of texture and sprinkle over the top.

Place in the freezer until firm enough to slice - this may take over an hour

It is beautiful served alone, or with fresh strawberries sliced over the top

Notes

Caramel Cheesecake

Ingredients Directions

Creamy spiced hummus

Jan 29, 2025

A tasty take on the classic Mediterranean dip, infused with a mix of aromatic spices that enhance its creamy texture and rich flavour. This spiced hummus pairs beautifully with crunchy veggie sticks, seedy crackers, or a slice of sourdough toast. Quick and simple to prepare, it also keeps well in the fridge for up to a week!

Spiced steak with a mango salsa

Jan 29, 2025

An ideal summer meal, bursting with flavour and packed with nutrients! Simple to prepare and wonderfully satisfying.

Mini Veggie Frittatas

Dec 4, 2024

This is a great little snack idea and so easy to make! You can mix up the filling ingredients and add whatever veggies (and meat) you may have in the fridge. Great for a snack on the go, or addition to the lunchbox.

Hi there, I think you are missing the ingredients for the top layer in the recipe.

  Hi Kristy, sorry for any confusion, but the chopped cacao wafers (garnish) is the top layer 🙂

    I think there is a typo at step 4. You have us doing 2 base layers and no middle layer 😜 Looking forward to trying this
