Filling:

Method:

achieve a crumble consistency.
2. Treat the mixture like pastry and roll out between two sheets of greaseproof

the top edges. Place in a fridge to firm up whilst the filling is made.
3. Melt the coconut butter/oil in a bain marie and place in the high speed blender
along with all your other filling ingredients and blend until you achieve a creamy
consistency, if it’s still too thick add more water a bit at a time until the mixture is
smooth.
4. Remove base from fridge and pour filling into the base, return to fridge to set
for a least three hours. It is possible to put cheesecake in the freezer to speed the
cooling process but be careful you don’t freeze it.
5. Once cooled remove from freezer and slice whilst it’s still firm then return to
fridge half and hour before serving.
