Method

Method
  1. For the brownie layer, line a baking dish with greaseproof paper.
  2. Place the nuts in a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped. Add the dates and pulse until combined. Pour in the maple syrup and carob powder and pulse to combine.
  3. Add the water and pulse again until the mixture comes together in a dough-like substance. Press the mixture into the baking dish with a rubber spatula. Place in the freezer to harden.
  4. For the cheesecake layer, drain the cashews, then add to a blender with the maple syrup and pulse into a chunky paste. Add all other ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy. Add a tablespoon of water if you need to.
  5. Pour the mixture over the top of the brownie layer and freeze for 15 minutes to firm up.
  6. For the raspberry cream, place the cashews, maple syrup and coconut oil in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the coconut cream and raspberries and blend again until the mixture is smooth. Add an extra tablespoon of coconut cream if the mixture is not creamy enough.
  7. Pour the cream over the top of the brownies, then smooth using a rubber spatula. Place the raspberry cheesecake brownie in the freezer to harden for 90 minutes, or until firm (but not frozen solid).
  8. Remove the brownie from the tray and cut into 10 bars.
  9. Place the bars on greaseproof paper on a flat tray and place in the freezer again for 10 minutes before serving.
Tip

Keep the cheesecake in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 6 weeks. Defrost for 10 minutes before serving to allow the cream layer to soften slightly.
