Prepare your own Raw Coffee Cheesecake
The moment you have been waiting for has arrived, recreate this delicious dessert from the comfort of your kitchen. It is important that you know that the raw coffee Cheesecake has three layers: The base, the cream and finally the toppings.
That said, it's time to get to work.
Ingredients
-Dates (like dehydrated fruit everything sticks together)
-Almonds
-Oatmeal
For the cream we will use:
-Coconut oil
-Coconut milk or vegetable drink
-Melted cocoa
-Coffee (one cup)
-Cashews (Have previously soaked them for approximately eight hours or overnight)
-Hot water
Decoration
-Cocoa powder
-Grated chocolate
-Coffee beans
Preparation
The first thing we must do is grind all the base ingredients. To do this, Anna recommends putting them in the grinder until they give us a sticky texture. When it is ready, we place it in the mold covering all the edges and it is approximately one finger high.
Once the base is ready, we proceed to make the cream by grinding all the previously mentioned ingredients until we obtain a homogeneous mass and then putting it on the base.
Now we take our preparation to the refrigerator, all night long. When it solidifies, that is, it has that creamy appearance that we are looking for, we can decorate it, unmold it to add the toppings, and that's it!
Why should you prepare it?
The raw coffee cheesecake is a raw vegan cake which means it does not need cooking. So it is ideal when we don't want to use the oven or we are simply not that expert when it comes to desserts.
Anna explains that, as it is a cake that includes certain ingredients, it solidifies, causing it to stand on its own. In short, it is a dessert that will not go unnoticed due to its delicious flavor and the best of all is that it is 100% healthy.
So, if you are on a healthy lifestyle plan, the raw coffee Cheesecake is the perfect option. Whether for a snack, sharing at coffee time and even for breakfast. As it is a slightly sweet dessert, we recommend accompanying it with a cup of Burundi coffee which you find in the catalog of Incapto Coffee.
Are there other coffee desserts?
There is a wide variety of coffee-based desserts, in fact, one of the most popular is the classic Tiramisu.
Also added to the list are a delicious chocolate mousse with coffee, which surprises with that interesting mix of flavors that, to be honest, invites us to serve ourselves a couple more portions. But if you are one of those who prefer something less creamy, you can try the coffee cake, a fairly simple preparation to recreate and that goes very well at snack or breakfast time.
Nor can we leave out the gypsy arm, the flan, torrijas and fruit empanadas, all of these with the star ingredient, coffee. We are sure that one is more delicious than the other and we can enjoy it alone or with the whole family.
Coffee has become the ingredient in many desserts, as it gives it that special touch that we like so much. The raw coffee Cheesecake, presented to us by Anna Mateo, is one of the great favorites, because in addition to being healthy, it is exquisite and we can assure you that you will not stop preparing it this summer.
