Does a recipe like this really need an introduction?!?
I think not, just try it - you'll want it every night.
It's quick, easy, healthy & delicious.

CHOCOLATE BERRY CHEESECAKE
Crust: 1 cup oats
1 cup dates
1 Tablespoon cocoa powder
Filling:
300g frozen berries of choice
200g medium firm tofu
1/4 cup soymilk (or other motherless milk of choice)
3 Tablespoons maple syrup
3 Tablespoons cocoa powder
Soak the dates in boiling water til softened.
Drain and combine the dates, oats and cocoa powder in a blender or food processor.
Blend until well combined but not completely crumbed.
Press into a 20cm pie dish.
Pour into the pie dish on top of the crust.
Serve for dessert, no wait, actually I think this is healthy enough to be BREAKFAST!
Or turn it into "Birthday Cake".

you can tell this is a great cheesecake if you can use it both for birthdays and breakfasts :-)
ReplyDeletelol thanks! :-) I figure if we can have oats & berries for breakfast then this cake is basically the same thing!!!!
DeleteMy kind of recipe! Not overly complicated but so delicious and loads better than traditional kinds of cheesecake!
ReplyDeleteThanks! And my style recipe - I am never bothered to make anything too complicated so it's nice when simple things work out :-)
DeleteI love these kinds of desserts :D Gorgeous recipe!
ReplyDeleteGreat news - Thanks :-)
DeleteI've been trying to think of some way to use the frozen berries that have been sitting in the freezer, and this looks so yummy! I've got dessert covered this week (a gingerbread cake, teasing me every time I open the fridge ;) but this is definitely going on my list for next week, thanks :)
ReplyDeleteGreat news! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
DeleteAlways feels good to use up items that have been sitting in the freezer for sometime!
Yay for desserts that are decadent and healthy! :D
ReplyDeleteI agree - YAY!
DeleteCake for breakfast? Yes, please!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this at Healthy Vegan Fridays Sandy! This will be a featured recipe this coming Friday =)
I have pinned & shared your recipe.
Oh thank you! That's exciting to be a featured recipe!
DeleteThis looks delicious! I love these no bake kind of cakes. And I love chocolate and berries together :)
ReplyDeleteChocolate and berries really are such a wonderful combination aren't they :-)
DeleteThis looks great :) Would love to try it!
ReplyDeleteWhich brand/package of tofu do you use? I've been caught out a few times with undesirable textures :p
Thank you :)
I use the Woolworths Macro brand of tofu. They have many different varieties which I find helpful.
DeleteI guess you just have to experiment with what you can get to see what will work best. :-)
