How to Prepare Berry Chocolate Cheesecake Squares [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
- Begin by making the crust. In a food processor, process the walnuts, almonds, sea salt, and cinnamon until a fine crumb is achieved. Add the pitted, coarsely chopped dates and process again until it comes together and becomes sticky. If you pinch the mixture it should hold together.
- Place parchment paper or plastic wrap into a 8x8-inch square baking dish, letting it hang over the sides a few inches so you can lift it out later. Press nut mixture into the bottom in an even layer. Put it the freezer to chill.
- Make the chocolate and the filling. Put chocolate chips in a small heat safe bowl. In a small saucepan heat almond milk and pour over chocolate, stirring to melt. Will take 30 seconds to 1 minute. Set aside. In a blender, put all filling ingredients. Blend 1-3 minutes until completely creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Add a little water if needed to make it totally smooth.
- Pour filling on top of nut mixture, and spread chocolate on top of that. Cover whole dish in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for at least one hour, but up to overnight. To serve, remove from freezer and lift the entire dessert out onto a cutting board. Remove parchment/plastic wrap from the bottom and cut into cubes. Let warm a little bit at room temperature and serve.

Ok, the chocolate mix is finally ok, but how do you spread a chocolate mix that is thicker and heavier than the filling on top? Has anyone actually made these successfully and if so, I’d greatly appreciate some help.
Try freezing the first layer until it’s solid, then adding the chocolate layer. It should hold up. :)
Ok, where is the bit that tells you how to do the chocolate without it seizing! I’ve lost over 1kg of very expensive organic chocolate and 3 hours trying to get it right. What a nightmare!
Hi, I would prefer to use something other than agave. Maybe maple syrup or coconut butter. Also, it would be nice to have a "print" feature for the recipes. And cancel the sponsorship that has the pop up video ad for "myspace", takes up too much memory and slows the site down.
Agree about the print feature 100%, though I guess the advertising revenue from the pop-ups helps pay for the website!
