Method
-
Step 1
First make the base: Place the granola in your blender and blitz up for a few seconds. Melt the nut butter, maple syrup/honey and coconut oil then pour in and pulse again to form a sticky mixture.
-
Step 2
Keep ¼ of the mixture and set aside. Press the rest into the base of a lined 20cm loose-bottomed round tin and chill while you make the topping.
-
Step 3
Clean out the blender and add the chickpeas, cacao/cocoa powder, nut butter, maple syrup and vanilla. Scrape out the solid coconut cream part then whizz up until thick and smooth.
-
Step 4
Spoon this over the base and smooth out evenly. Freeze for 2 hours.
-
Step 5
Meanwhile divide the remaining mixture into small pieces and roll into balls. Chill in the fridge until needed.
-
Step 6
Remove the cheesecake from the freezer 15 minutes before ready to serve then pop out the tin. Arrange the balls on top and scatter over cacao nibs. Drizzle over melted dark chocolate – then you’re good to go!
