Raw, plant-based deliciousness – this Chocolate and Caramel Cheesecake is a serious crowd-pleaser. With a chewy chocolate base, natural caramel sweetness, and a decadent chocolate cheesecake filling, this dessert is a textural delight that ticks all of our boxes.
A good quality, high-speed blender is essential to achieving a nice creamy consistency. A decent amount of power is required to process the crunchier ingredients like the dates and nuts that make up the base. If you’d prefer to have some chunks remaining in the base, simply use the ‘pulse’ setting on your blender. Enjoy!
