Stracciatella Maqui Cheesecake

STRACCIATELLA LAYER
STEP 1

After soaking cashews for a minimum of 4 hours, drain them well and place them into a high-speed blender. Add coconut cream, agave, coconut oil, and lemon juice and process until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness if needed.
NOTE ON COCONUT CREAM

Always use full-fat canned coconut milk or the cake won’t turn out creamy. Chill it in the refrigerator overnight so that you can easily separate cream from the liquid. The cream should be firm enough so that you can scoop it out with a spoon. If it’s too watery, the cake won’t be able to hold its shape.
STEP 2

When the mixture is nice and creamy, gently stir in finely chopped dark chocolate and layer the filling on top of the crust. Place the cake in the freezer while you make the second layer.

Add coconut cream (see note on coconut cream), coconut oil, agave, lemon juice, melted white chocolate, and maqui berry powder. Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness if necessary. If the mixture is too thick, add 3-4 tablespoons of almond milk.

Place the cake in the freezer to set for at least 4-5 hours until firm.

Tip: Before adding finely chopped dark chocolate make sure the filling is not warm or chocolate will melt (it can be a bit warm after blending.

Also, it’s best if you put chocolate pieces in the freezer for half an hour before adding them to the filling to ensure that they won’t melt.
