ORGANIC DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHERRY CHEESECAKE



ORGANIC DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHERRY CHEESECAKE image

Categories     Cake     Chocolate     Dessert

Yield 1 9" cake

Number Of Ingredients 21

Crust:
1 ¾ cups nuts (I used raw almonds)
½ cup raw cacao nibs
1/8 teaspoon Himalayan crystal salt
¾ teaspoon cherry extract
1 tablespoon raw chocolate powder
¾ cup raisins
Filling:
3 cups cashews, soaked 1-2 hours, drained
1/3 cup raw agave
6 dates, pitted
½ cup fresh lemon juice
¼ cup water
2 teaspoons cherry extract
1 cup coconut oil
¾ cup raw chocolate powder
Coulis:
1 bag frozen berries (cherries would be optimal but any will do!)
¼ cup raw agave
dash fresh lemon juice
pinch cinnamon

Steps:

  • Crust directions: Grind the nuts, cacao nibs and salt in a food processor, fitted with the "S" blade, until coarsely ground. Add the cherry extract and chocolate powder and pulse to thoroughly combine. Add the raisins and process until the mixture sticks together when gently pressed between your fingers. Press into the bottom of an 8 or 9-inch round spring form pan. Place in the freezer while you make the filling. Filling directions: Using a food processor, fitted with the "S" blade, process the cashews, agave, dates, lemon juice, and water until it's creamy. This could take 3-5 minutes. You might need to stop and scrape down the sides a couple of times. Add the cherry extract, coconut oil, and chocolate powder and process until creamy. Pour the filling into the spring form pan and freeze the cheesecake so it sets. Let thaw for up to an hour or more before eating. Coulis directions: Blend all of the ingredients together.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the final product. Look for organic, fair-trade chocolate and cherries, and use full-fat cream cheese and butter.
  • Be patient: Cheesecake takes time to make. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with a cracked or runny cheesecake.
  • Use a springform pan: This will make it easy to remove the cheesecake from the pan without damaging it.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cheesecake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: This will help to prevent the top of the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Chill the cheesecake thoroughly before serving: This will help it to set properly.

Conclusion:

This organic double chocolate cherry cheesecake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's made with wholesome ingredients and is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this cheesecake a try!
