How to Prepare No-Bake Double Chocolate Cheesecake [Vegan]

To Make the Crust:

Pulse the almonds to fine crumbles and transfer to a medium sized bowl. Pulse the dates to crumbles and add to the bowl.
Sprinkle with salt and sift the cocoa (or cacao) into bowl.
Mix well and then pour in the water. Start with 1/8 cup water. If it is too dry, add more. It should become moist enough to be able to knead it with your hands.
Line a spring-form with baking paper.
Pour the dough into the spring from and spread it evenly. Place the cake pan in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

To Make the Filling:

Blend all ingredients to a fine cream.
Take the cake tin out of the fridge and pour the filling into it.

To Make the Topping:

Blend the ingredients for the topping to a fine cream.
Pour the topping in circles onto the cake. If you hold it up higher, it will drop deeper into the main filling.
Then use the end of a spoon or fork and make swirls by stirring through it.
Place in freezer until set, approximately 3 hours. Cut while still semi-frozen, it makes nice clean edges.
