Healthy triple chocolate cheesecake? How can that be you ask? Well, make it and see! No baking, no butter, no cream cheese, no flour and no fuss. Easy, chocolatey and has an incredibly smooth, mousse-like texture. It simply melts in your mouth!!
There is nothing as nice as sharing a homemade chocolate cake on Mother's Day with the most special women in your life...MUM. I have the best one for you. Healthy triple chocolate cheesecake that can be done the very last minute.
It's very easy but looks incredible and is the perfect Sunday afternoon tea time cake, a birthday cake for a chocoholic or even for that "healthy freak" in your life……basically, it's a cake worthy of any occasion.
You could also try my Strawberry Cheesecake or this light clean Lemon Cheesecake. If you love peanut butter, this Raw Peanut Butter Banana Cheesecake is just want you are looking for. I may have gotten a little carried away with the healthy cheesecakes, but can you blame me? They are all soooooo good.
I will be honest with you. When I was creating this cake (last minute request) I didn't have much stuff in the cupboards. Thanks to the brilliant Snacking Essentials, I always have their products in the house. I'm one of their ambassadors and as such am always experimenting with their goodies.
So my healthy triple chocolate cake uses nuts and coconut oil for the fat, dates for sweetness and to bind it all together, cocoa powder to make it chocolatey, vanilla extract to add a touch more flavour and of course cashews to make the cheesecake like texture. No baking required!
So without further ado here it is. And if you want a deeper more impressive looking cake, just double the ingredients.
Here's the Healthy Triple Chocolate Cheesecake

What would be equivalent to 2 packs of Nutty Mix? I’m in the US and it looks like it isn’t available here.
