To make the base

Step 1- Line a baking tin with greaseproof paper.

Step 2- De-stone the medjool dates and place them into a food processor, along with the almonds, oats, walnuts and salt.

Step 3- Whiz up the base mixture until ground (but not fully ground as it's nice to have a textured/nutty base)

Step 4- Press the mixture into your lined baking tray. 

Pop the tray into the freezer whilst you make the cheesecake layer!

To make the cheesecake layer

Step 1- Drain the water from the cashew nuts and place the nuts into a food processor, along with the maple syrup, coffee, vanilla extract and melted coconut oil.

Step 2- Blend until smooth, silky and creamy.

There will be some texture due to the nuts but carry on blending until it's a thick & creamy paste.

This will take around 5-8 minutes on high.

Step 3- Pour the cheesecake mixture onto the base and even out with a spoon, then pop the tray back into the freezer to set.

This will take around 2-3 hours.

To make the ganache
Step 1- Open a can of coconut milk, drain the clear liquid part and only use the thick white cream.

Step 2- Place the cream into a medium-sized saucepan, and heat on medium until it comes to a low boil.

Step 3- Place the dark chocolate into a heatproof bowl and pour over the hot cream.
Allow to sit for a few minutes then stir together.
The cream will melt the chocolate.

Step 4- Pour the ganache onto the cheesecake layer.
Pop back into the freezer until the cheesecake has fully set.

Step 5- Once the cheesecake has set, remove from the tin and slice into bars.

To serve, defrost the cheesecake bars for around 1-2 hours or until fully defrosted!
Keep in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.
