Wykonanie
DIRECTIONS
bottom layer
  1. Chop previously soaked overnight dates. Grind finely your almonds with food processor. Add the remaining ingredients to them: dates, peanut butter, cocoa powder, coconut oil and water. Blend until you get firm and sticky mass. Press it on the bottom of the mold and refrigerate.
millet creamy cheesecake layer
  1. Rinse millet groats, put in a pot, add the cashews and pour 3 and ¼ cup of water. Simmer without a lid until it is completely overcooked and sticky, it will take about 20 minutes (or at least you should not cook less than 20 minutes, even if you think it is already overcooked. This is very important!). NOTE not to burn the pot! Groats and cashews will be very sticky so they will stick to the bottom of the pot. However, do not add water, millet should absorb all the previously added liquid. When the millet groats is already overcooked, place it in a bowl and add the remaining ingredients: syrup, lemon juice, salt and vanilla pod seeds. Blend until you get very thick, sticky, smooth and creamy mass. You must act quickly, because the millet will quickly freeze and become very thick while it cools down. In order the mass to thicken up and harden, it is necessary to overcook millet properly. As soon as blended mass is sufficiently uniform and creamy, pour it over the bottom layer and put it into the fridge to set. While the cheesecake is setting up, prepare the caramel.
  2. a date caramel
date caramel
  1. Chop reviously soaked and softened dates and blend with peanut butter. Add 4 tablespoons of water until the consistency is creamy, uniform, smooth and caramel-like. You can add more or less water, depends on how thick you want the caramel to be. Spear the finished caramel over the cheesecake layer and sprinkle with peanuts.
  2. Put your cheesecake overnight in the fridge or for few hours in the frezer (the best is after whole night of cooling in the fridge). After this time cheesecake will be set and ready to serve.
