Chocolate Caramel Cheesecake Slice

Makes 12 squares We created this Salted Choc Caramel Cheesecake Slice Recipe to enjoy as an indulgent dessert – try drizzling with Dunx Dip – or chop into smaller squares and enjoy as a sweet snack. Every layer is pure heaven and they all come together to make the most divine treat. It's like a raw cheesecake but we've taken it a few steps further and upped the indulgence! There's the raw choccy date base and the vanilla cashew cheesecake, but then sandwiched between are layers of two different caramels. One with squidgy date chunks running through it and the other a smooth chocolate caramel. It was hard taken photos whilst trying not to eat them all that's for sure! We will be making more STRAIGHT AWAY. Anyway, we hope you all love digging into these as much as we did.

  • Pulse the extra medjool dates in a food processor until they have broken down slightly. Stir through one half of the caramel.
  • To the other half of the caramel, add the cacao powder and extra maple syrup.
  • Take the base from the freezer and spread half of the cheesecake mixture on top. Next, pour over the date caramel. Place in the freezer to set for around an hour, or until firm.
  • Once firm, spread the remaining cheesecake mixture followed by the chocolate caramel layer. Place in the freezer to set for around 4 hours. Allow them to defrost slightly before you’re ready to enjoy.
