Ingredients

Chai Spice Mix

  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 tsp ground cardamom
  • 2 tsp ground cloves
  • 4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 4 tsp ground ginger

Cheesecake

  • 1 cheesecake base 
  • 1 cup cashew nuts
  • Pinch salt
  • 5 Tbsp coconut oil
  • Scant 1⁄4 cup maple syrup
  • 3 1⁄4 Tbsp coconut sugar or dark muscovado (soft brown) sugar
  • 3 tsp cider vinegar
  • 3⁄4 c coconut cream*

Directions

  1. To make chai spice mix, place black pepper, nutmeg, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger in a small jam jar. Seal with a lid and shake to mix well. Use as needed.
  2. Make the cheesecake base, pressing base into 8 round molds (each about 2 inches in diameter).
  3. For cheesecake filling, soak cashews in cold water for 1 hour. Drain and blend with salt in a blender until as fine as possible. Add coconut oil and blend again until completely smooth.
  4. Add maple syrup, coconut sugar, vinegar, coconut cream, and 3 1⁄2 teaspoons of the Chai Spice mix and blend again until well mixed and smooth.
  5. Use a jug or piping bag to fill molds evenly with cheesecake filling. Chill cheesecakes in fridge overnight before de-molding and serving, or freeze for 2 or more hours. If frozen, they are easier to de-mold, but they’re best left to soften in the fridge for an hour or two before serving. Cheesecakes will keep well in a covered container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.

Notes

*Coconut cream is a helpful dairy substitute. Use either the cream that separates from a can of coconut milk or buy coconut cream already separated.
