Decadent slimmed-down chocolate cheesecake makeover.
Ingredients:
  • 1/3 cup Pistachios
  • 60g (1/3 cup) pepitas
  • 70g (1/2 cup) pecans
  • 2 tsp raw cacao
  • 140g (about 6) pitted medjool dates
  • Low-fat Greek yoghurt, to serve (optional)
  • Pomegranate seeds, to serve (optional)
  • 9.00 gm gelatine powder
  • 250g light cream cheese, at room temperature, chopped
  • 500g plain quark yoghurt
  • 35g (1/3 cup) raw cacao, plus extra 1 tsp, to dust
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) maple syrup, plus extra 1 tbsp, to serve
  • 2 tsp vanilla bean paste
Instructions:
  • Prepare a 22cm springform pan by greasing and lining the base with baking paper. In a food processor, blend pistachios, pepitas, and pecans until finely ground. Add cacao and dates; pulse until finely chopped. Stream in 1-2 teaspoons of water and blend until the mixture starts coming together.
  • Pour the mixture into the pan and firmly press it into the base. Let it chill in the freezer for about an hour until it sets.
  • To prepare the filling, place gelatine in a small heatproof bowl with 2 tablespoons of water. Set the bowl in a larger bowl of hot water and stir for 1 minute until gelatine dissolves. Let it cool slightly. Clean and dry the food processor bowl. Combine cream cheese and quark in the processor until smooth. Add cacao, maple syrup, and vanilla. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Combine the gelatine mixture with the mixture in the food processor. Pour into the prepared pan, smooth the surface, then refrigerate the cheesecake overnight until firm.
  • Take the cheesecake out of the pan. Sprinkle with the additional cacao powder. Drizzle with the extra maple syrup. Enjoy with yogurt and pomegranate, if desired.
