How to Prepare Pineapple Ginger Cheesecake [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Place nuts and dates in a food processor and process until they are to your desired fineness. Test the crust by spooning out a small amount of mixture and rolling it in your hands. If the ingredients hold together, your crust is perfect.
Scoop out crust mixture in a 7-inch springform pan and press firmly, making sure that the edges are well packed and that the base is relatively even throughout.
Warm coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat until liquid. Whisk to combine.
Place all filling ingredients, except for the coconut oil, in the blender and blend on high until very smooth (this may take a couple minutes, so be patient). Add coconut oil and blend again.
Pour the mixture out onto the crust and smooth with a spatula. Place in freezer for 3 hours.
To serve, remove from freezer 1 hour prior to eating.
Run a smooth, sharp knife under hot water and cut into 8 slices.
Top with cacao truffles and toppings.
