Directions

Preparation:20min  ›  Extra time:2hours freezing  ›  Ready in:2hours20min 

  1. Base: In a food processor, blitz the walnuts until you get coarse crumbs. Add the remaining ingredients and blitz until well incorporated. The mixture will be still quite crumbly, do not fear.
  2. Press about 200g of the base mix evenly into a cling film lined 20 cm round springform cake tin. Set aside.
  3. Filling: Wipe out the food processor bowl, then blitz the filling ingredients until well incorporated and smooth. Taste the sweetness and add more dates as you wish. Pour into the tin and smooth out using a wet spatula or spoon. Cover with cling film and place into the freezer for 2-3 hours.
  4. Once set, slice, plate and enjoy! You can store the cheesecake in the freezer whole - slice the pieces as you need with a very sharp knife. The slices thaw in 1 hour.
