    Default Holy cow!!!

    Ingredients

    Pecan chocolate crust:

    1 cup pecan meal (just ground up pecans, can use any nut meal of liking)
    3-4 medjool dates (or 2-3 tbsp maple syrup)
    1/2 cup cacao powder (cocoa powder)
    pinch sea salt
    1 teaspoon vanilla

    chocolate filling:

    2 cups cashew, pieces
    1/2 cup coconut oil, liquid
    1/2 cup maple syrup ( or may use agave nectar)
    1/2 cup water
    2 teaspoons vanilla
    3/4 cup raw cacao powder (or cocoa powder)


    Optional toppings:

    crushed pecans

    Methods/steps

    pecan chocolate crust:

    Place all ingredients into a food processor (can do in a blender) and pulse till combined. you want the crust to slightly stick together.

    grab your mini cheesecake pan and scoop your pecan chocolate crust into your pan. press down with fingers to firmly place the crust into pan.

    set aside as you make your filling.

    Chocolate filling:


    soak cashews for about 10- 15 minutes (optional) then rinse well. place cashews into blender with maple syrup, vanilla, and water. blend for a little bit to get it creamy.

    Next add in your cacao powder and coconut oil. blend till creamy. you may have to scrape down the sides a few times. just keep blending till it is nice and smooth.

    **we like our chocolate cream cake on the rich chocolate not too sweet side, you may add in a little bit more sweetness if desired

    once chocolate filling is blended begin scooping your filling into your mini cheesecake pans. fill them to the top. set the chocolate cream cakes into your freezer to set for a few hours before removing from pan. you may enjoy this chocolate dessert as is or you may add on more chocolate and pecans. why not, right?

    Wow!lol
    This does sound/look scrumptious!

    Would a muffin pan work just as well?
    Thanks!

    A muffin pan might work if you lined it with parchment paper or greased the muffin pan really well with coconut oil.

    @veggietales: To make cheap ring molds, buy some pvc plumbing or something similar and cut into what ever depth of rings you want. Cheap and easy to do!
