Rose Cardamom Chocolate Cheesecake (vegan & grain-free)

Rose Cardamom Chocolate Cheesecake (vegan & grain-free)

Today I have the promised Rose Cardamom Chocolate Cheesecake for you. I have developed this cheesecake for a special event later this month and I’m so happy with this recipe, it’s so special, so feminine and the taste is absolutely divine.

I hope I’m not too late getting this recipe to you in case you would like to make it this Valentines Day, it would be perfect.

I’ve decided to make this cheesecake into bars, however, you could also use 6″ round cake tin if you prefer. I’ve chosen some wonderful ingredients for this recipe; the crust is made of a mix of brazil nuts, almonds, desiccated coconut, medjool dates, raw cacao and cardamom. The top creamy layer is a mix of cashews, cacao butter, coconut oil, raw cacao, cardamom, rose water and maple syrup for sweetener. Everything works beautifully in harmony and it’s a pure pleasure to taste.

I might come back and write more on Love, but in the meantime, I will leave you with a beautiful poem by Rumi.

“I want to sing like the birds sing, not worrying about who hears or what they think.”
― Rumi

Much Love & Plant Magic

      Hi Monica, you can use extra coconut oil instead. Or even coconut butter would work well too. Hope you like it :)
