Ingredients Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake
All the ingredients in this recipe can be divided into two groups. This is the crust and filling. Some products can be replaced by others.
For the crust
Everything is standard here. I make the crust with almond flour and refined coconut oil. The unsweetened almonds contrast nicely with the sweet cheesecake filling. If you like a sweet crust, add some maple syrup.
For the filling
Our cheesecake has two layers of strawberry and chocolate. The main ingredients in these layers are the same. These are soaked cashew nuts, coconut milk, maple syrup, refined coconut oil and vanilla extract.
Maple syrup can be replaced with any other syrup or coconut sugar. Cacao butter can be used instead of coconut oil.
There are two additional ingredients in the cheesecake recipe. They then determine the taste of our dessert. These are fresh strawberries (frozen will do), dark chocolate without sugar and cacao powder. You can find the recipe for chocolate without refined sugar on my blog.
And so the ingredients are ready. Let’s start preparing a delicious dessert.
How to make Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake
First you need to prepare the form. Lay parchment on the bottom and walls. Then start making the cheesecake crust.
Crust
In a bowl, mix almond flour and refined coconut oil. The preparation for the crust should turn out crumbly. But when pressed, gather into a lump. Then spread the crust evenly over the bottom of the mold. And press well with a silicone spatula or spoon. you should get a smooth almond surface. Set aside the crust form. Now we will make the cheesecake filling.
Filling Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake
First we will make the strawberry layer. After that, a chocolate layer. And we will cover all this beauty with ganache.
Strawberry filling
To do this, load the soaked cashew nuts, coconut milk, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract and strawberries into the blender bowl. Mix everything until the mass becomes smooth. If you have a small blender, divide the ingredients into 2 parts.
Pour the prepared strawberry layer over the crust and smooth with a spatula. Then put the mold in the freezer for 1 hour. While the strawberry layer hardens, you can rest a bit.
Chocolate filling
The cooking process is similar to the previous one. In a blender, combine cashew nuts, coconut milk, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract and cacao powder. Then spread the chocolate filling on top of the strawberry layer. And of course, make sure everything is well aligned. After that, put the mold in the freezer for 2 hours. When our cheesecake hardens, take it out of the freezer. Now let’s make chocolate ganache.
Ganache for Cheesecake
Melt the dark chocolate in a water bath or in the microwave. Then add room temperature coconut milk. And mix everything until the mass becomes smooth. It took me about 2 minutes of intensive mixing.
Then pour the ganache over the cheesecake. After that, put the cheesecake in the refrigerator for 1 hour. When the ganache has hardened, remove the cheesecake from the mold and enjoy a delicious dessert.
Store the cheesecake in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. For long-term storage, put the dessert in the freezer.
