Think Cool to Keep Cool

 

Top Tips:

• Moisturise your feet for a wonderful reviving effect on the whole body.
• Nourish & Calm dried or over-heated skin
• Cool your pulse-points for a more restful night’s sleep
• Use the power of your mind – listening to arctic winds; cultivating stillness through meditation or gentle stretching; exploring cool rather than focusing on the heat can actually make you feel better

Organic Ingredients

For the base
110g walnuts
40g unsweetened cocoa power
200g pitted Medjool dates
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

For the filling
360g raw cashews, soaked overnight in cold water, then drained
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
165g frozen ripe banana
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons water
1 pinch salt
40g unsweetened cocoa powder
75g pitted Medjool dates

 

Method

For the base:

1. In a food processor, blitz the walnuts until you get coarse crumbs. Add the remaining ingredients and blitz until well incorporated. The mixture will be still quite crumbly; do not fear.
2. Press about 200g of the base mix evenly into a cling film-lined 20cm round springform cake tin. Set aside.

For the filling:

1. Wipe out the food processor bowl, then blitz the filling ingredients until well incorporated and smooth. Taste the sweetness and add more dates as you wish. Pour into the tin and smooth out using a wet spatula or spoon. Cover with cling film and place into the freezer for 2 to 3 hours.
2. Once set, slice, plate and enjoy! You can store the cheesecake in the freezer whole – slice the pieces as you need with a very sharp knife. The slices thaw in 1 hour.
