Blend the roasted hazelnuts and pitted dates together until they form a coarse, slightly sticky dough. If needed, add melted coconut oil to help bind the mixture.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of a 20 cm cheesecake mold. Place the mold in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to allow the crust to set.
In a blender, combine the silken tofu, melted coconut oil, hazelnut butter, maple syrup, plant-based milk, and chocolate-hazelnut protein powder. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Pour the cream filling over the crust in the mold. Smooth the top with a spatula if needed.
Sprinkle hazelnut flakes and cocoa shavings on top for decoration.
Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator and let it chill for 3-4 hours, or until fully set.
For a firmer crust, ensure the dates are soft and sticky before blending. If they are too dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes and drain before use.
Use a high-speed blender for the cream filling to achieve a silky smooth texture.
For a more intense chocolate flavor, you can add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the cream filling.
Can I use a different nut butter instead of hazelnut butter?
Yes, you can substitute hazelnut butter with almond butter or any other nut butter of your choice, but it may slightly alter the flavor.
How long can I store this cheesecake?
You can store the cheesecake in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Make sure to cover it to prevent it from drying out.
Can I freeze this cheesecake?
Yes, you can freeze the cheesecake for up to 1 month. Thaw it in the refrigerator before serving.
What can I use instead of chocolate-hazelnut protein powder?
You can use plain or chocolate-flavored protein powder, but the hazelnut flavor may be less pronounced.
Can I make this cheesecake nut-free?
Unfortunately, this recipe heavily relies on hazelnuts for its flavor and texture, so making it nut-free would require significant modifications.
