The cashews should ideally be soaked in water overnight in the fridge as this will make them super soft and easy to blend. If you are short on time and have a high powered blender (such as a Vitamix) you can soak them in boiling water for 2 hours instead.
100 g cashews
Set aside a muffin tin with removable bases (or alternatively you can make these cheesecakes in paper or silicone muffin cases).
Add the base ingredients (dates, oats and almonds) to a food processor and blend until the mixture has broken down into a slightly sticky crumb that comes together when pressed into a ball.
100 g medjool dates, 60 g oats, 50 g almonds
Divide the base mixture between six of the holes in the muffin tin (approx 1.5 tbsp mixture each) and press the mixture firmly into the base of each muffin tin hole.
Add the diced mango, lime juice and maple syrup into a frying pan and simmer over a medium heat until the liquid has disappeared and the mango has caramelised and gone sticky (approximately 15 minutes). Set aside to cool whilst you make the cheesecake layer.
300 g fresh mango, 2 tbsp lime juice, 4 tbsp maple syrup
Add the ingredients for the filling (drained cashews, coconut cream, coconut oil, maple syrup and dried ginger) to a high powered blender and blend until silky smooth. The time this will take will depend on the type of blender you are using but should be between 2-3 minutes.
100 g coconut cream, 40 g coconut oil, 60 ml maple syrup, 1 tsp dried ginger
Divide the filling between the 6 muffin tin holes, pouring it on top of the date and nut bases that you’ve just pressed into the tin.
Add a tsp of the caramelised mango to each and swirl it around briefly to mix it in.
Divide the remaining caramelised mango between the cheesecakes, spooning it on top. Freeze for 4 hours.
Push the cheesecakes out of the muffin tin and set them aside for 15 minutes prior to serving.
Store any unused cheesecakes in the freezer in an airtight container.
Sprinkle with lime zest on serving.
