Easter Cheesecake Bites| Vegan Recipe

• 2 tablespoons vanilla essence
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter
• 1 small carton coconut cream
• 250g pitted dates
• 250g cashew nuts, soaked for 20 mins in water.
• 1.5 cups walnuts
• 2 tablespoons maca powder
• 3 tablespoons agave syrup

1. Add the walnuts to a food processor and blend until fine.
2. Next add the pitted dates, maca powder and peanut butter and give it a nice mix. Try and maintain a ‘biscuity’ texture and add water if needed to ensure the mixture sticks together. Remove this mixture from food processor and set aside.
3. Clean the food processor to make the cheesecake topping.
4. Add the cashews, coconut cream, agave, vanilla to the food processor and blend until it resembles a creamy ‘cheesecake like’ texture. Keep it aside.
5. Lightly grease a cake tin with coconut oil or dairy free spread. Add the walnut and date biscuit base along the bottom of the tin evenly.
6. Next add the cheesecake mixture on top evenly. You can add toppings of your choice: Mini Easter eggs, vegan treats, blueberries or desiccated coconut for example.
7. Freeze for a couple of hours to let it set well. Be careful when removing from the cake tin. Cut into small portions  and your Easter special Vegan Cheesecake bites are ready to be enjoyed with family.
