Ingredients

Base

• 5 dates, pitted + soaked in boiling water for 10 mins
• 62ml / 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 165g / 1 cup oat flour
• Good pinch of salt
• 1/3 tsp cinnamon

Filling

• 210g / 1 3/4 cups cashews, soaked overnight or in boiling water for 1 hour, then drained
• 125ml / 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk (from a can)
• 3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
• 2 tbsp maple
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Cherry Layer

• 300g / 1 pack PACK’D Organic Frozen Cherries
• 1 tbsp maple

Method

Blend all the base layer ingredients together in a high speed blender until it forms a sticky dough. Don’t over blitz just enough to combine. Transfer to a bowl and use your hands to soften into a tacky tough.

Press the base mixture evenly into the bottom of 5 - 6 small jars.

Blend the cashews, coconut milk, coconut oil, maple, lemon juice, zest and vanilla in a high speed blender until super smooth and creamy, at least 1 minute. Taste and adjust sweetness to taste baring in mind you have the base and topping to come.

Pour the cheesecake layer into the jars and level with a spoon

Add the cherries and maple to a small non-stick pan and cook on a medium heat for about 5 minutes or until most of the juice absorbs. Allow to cool to cool to thicken.

Spoon the cherry compote on top of the cheesecake layer. Use a skewer or knife to swirl the layers together to create a slight marble effect if you like.

Place in the freezer for 4 hours or overnight. If the jars totally freeze, simply rest at room temperature to thaw.

Option to top with dark chocolate to serve.
