This amazing no-bake chocolate peanut cheesecake is gluten free, dairy free, egg free and oil free. It doesn’t require cashews and coconut milk. It’s healthy, contains no refined products and at the same it’s unbelievably delicious. Just one bite of this incredible cheesecake will take you to the real chocolate heaven.
The cheesecake is refined sugar free. For sweetening we will use honey (or you can use maple syrup instead). Be sure to use natural high quality honey which is minimally processed, unheated and fresh. And also it’s better to choose honey that has a neutral flavor.
Silken tofu gives this dessert a very delicate and creamy consistency. Even if you’re not a big fan of tofu, don’t worry, you won’t feel its taste and flavor at all. But the texture will be amazingly good.
As I always say, be sure to choose delicious high-quality chocolate, because the quality of the chocolate determines how good the cheesecake will be. For this recipe you will need dark chocolate with 70-75% cacao.
The crust tastes like crunchy peanut cookies, very delicious and flavorful. Instead of raw buckwheat groats, you can use ground rolled oats.
Peanut butter is the next essential ingredient. It gives the cheesecake an incredible flavor. It’s better to use a creamy peanut butter that has a velvety texture without any grains. Choose unsweetened peanut butter which contains only peanuts, without any additives.
