全素巧克力咖啡起司蛋糕 Vegan No-Bake Chocolate Coffee Cheesecake

製作底層

• 將去籽椰棗乾放入食物處理機中，攪打細碎，再放入杏仁、可可碎豆，繼續攪打混合至細碎，視質地情況添加適量飲用水，至混合物可用手指捏成團
• 將底層混合物取出 3 大茶匙的量，滾成圓球，剩下的填壓入罐子/模具底層，分別放入冷凍庫備用

製作咖啡起司層

• 將浸泡過的腰果濾掉水，用飲用水再稍微清洗一下
• 將腰果與咖啡起司層的其它食材放入食物調理機中，攪打混合均勻至滑順。若椰子油呈凝固狀態，先融化
• 取出置於冷凍的底層，將咖啡起司混合物倒入罐子或模具內，輕輕搖晃使混合物平鋪於底層上，再放回冷凍至少 30 分鐘，至起司層表面凝固，讓它留在冷凍備用

製作巧克力慕斯層

• 將所有食材放入調理機，攪打混合均勻 (我是用生可可粉，味道和熟可可粉不太一樣)
• 取出冷凍的咖啡起司蛋糕，確認起司層表面已凝固，將巧克力慕斯層混合物倒於上方，鋪平，輕輕搖晃使其均勻分佈
• 將其放回冷凍庫 30 分鐘，或加蓋放到冷藏 2-3 小時，至巧克力層凝固
• 將事先取底層滾成的可可圓球置於上方點綴 (非必要，我有再融一點巧克力淋上點綴) 即可享用

To make the base

• Add the pitted dates to a food processor and chop them first, then add the almonds and cacao nibs, continue to process until all are finely chopped. The mixture should be stick together when pressed between your fingers. If it's too dry, add a small dash of water, and process again to help to bind.
• Scoop about 3 big teaspoons of the mixture to make 3 little balls. Press the rest mixture to the bottom of the jar/pan. Place both the balls and the jar separately in the freezer while we make the filling.

To make the coffee cheesecake layer:

• Drain out the water from the soaking cashews and give it a rinse.
• Add the cashews and the rest of the ingredients for the coffee layer in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. If the coconut oil is in solid state, melt it first.
• Take out the jar from the freezer. Pour the coffee cheesecake mixture onto the base layer. Gently wiggle the jar to let the mixture even out. Return it to the freezer for at least 30 minutes or until the surface of the cheesecake layer is set. Leave it in the freezer while we make the chocolate layer.

To make the chocolate mousse layer

• Blend all ingredients until smooth. (I use cacao powder. You can use cocoa powder if that works for you but the flavor will be slightly different.)
• Remove the jar from the freezer. Pour the chocolate mixture onto the cheesecake layer, and smooth it out.
• Return the jar to the freezer for 30 minutes or 2 - 3 hours with the lid on until it's completely set.
• Take out the small balls that we made from the base mixture and place them on the cake. (This is optional step but I just want to make it look a little different. 😛 I also drizzle some melted dark chocolate on the balls.) Scoop or slice if you making them in a pan. Then...DIVE IN!
