Ingredients
Crust
  • 1 cup walnuts ground
  • ½ cup coconut flour
  • 3 tbsp. palm sugar
  • 1 tbsp. tapioca starch
  • 4 tbsp. butter or use all coconut oil for dairy-free!
  • 4 tbsp. + 1 tsp. coconut oil
Filling
  • 3 cups coconut milk
  • ¼ cup + 1 tbsp. honey
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 tbsp. gelatin or 2 tbsp. agar agar POWDER* for a softer texture use 1.5 tbsp. of either
  • ½ cup raw cacao powder
Optional Topping
  • ½ cup coconut oil
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup raw cacao powder
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Using 1 tsp. of coconut oil grease a spring form cheesecake pan
  3. Combine all remaining crust ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl until a slightly crumbly texture is achieved.
  4. Firmly press into the bottom of the cheesecake pan.
  5. Place in oven and bake for 10 minutes until golden brown.

  6. As the crust is cooking heat the coconut milk, honey, and vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat, being careful not to bring it to a simmer or boil, whisking constantly. If it starts to steam really heavily remove from heat.

  7. Once heated whisk in gelatin then cocoa powder until smooth.
  8. Remove from heat.
  9. Once crust is cooked remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes then pour custard mixture on top. If you don't wait, the mixture may just seep through the crust and leave you with a soggy bottom.
  10. Place in the freezer to set for one hour.
  11. To make topping: Heat coconut oil and maple syrup in a double boiler (a metal bowl over a pot of water). Once melted whisk in cacao. Make after custard has set and just before pouring over so it doesn't harden.
  12. Top with blueberries and chocolate sauce.
  13. Remove from pan and enjoy!
Recipe Notes

*If you have agar agar flakes, grind them down first. Generally 1 tsp. powder = 1 tbsp. flakes.
