A quick yet impressive vegan cashew based cheesecake
מרכיבים
For the cashew base:
2 cups sweet apples, peeled and cubed (about 2 big apples)
¾ cup cashew
¼ cup water (you can sub for coconut cream for an even creamier result if you don't resent coconut taste, like me)
4 table spoons pure maple syrup
1 table spoon lemon juice
1 tea spoon vanilla extract
6 table spoons cocoa butter (about 50 grams)
a pinch of salt
For the topping , the raspberries option:
1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen), or any other berries
2 table spoons pure maple syrup
1 table spoon chia seeds
¼ cup dark chocolate
a pinch of salt
For the topping , the peanut butter option:
⅓ cup creamy natural peanut butter
2 table spoons pure maple syrup
¼ cup dark chocolate
a pinch of salt
הוראות הכנה
Make the cashe base: melt the cocoa butter in a bain-marie (in a small pot over a larger pot with boiling water), add it to a high speed blender along with the rest of the based ingredients and blend until it reaches a smooth consistency. You will need to stop and scrape down the sides of your blender a few times. Pour into a spring pan (24 cm diameter) and place in the freezer to set for at least 3 hours.
Topping, raspberries and chocolate option: warm a non stick skillet with the raspberries and maple inside. Use a wooden spoon to mix the raspberries continuously, until they caramelize and turn runny (see picture above, it takes about 5 minutes). Place in a jar or a tall bowl and blend with a hand blender until it is uniform, then add the chia seeds in. Wait 2 minutes then pour the jam on top of the cashew cake base and top with the chocolate chips. Place in the freezer to set.
Topping, peanut butter and chocolate option: mix the peanut butter with the maple and gently top the cake's base. Melt the chocolate in a bain-marrie, and pour it spirally or randomly on top of the peanut butter (you can use a chopstick or a toothpick to make shapes from the chocolate). Place in the freezer to set.
Serve cold, take out of the freezer about 10 minutes before serving.
