Hot Chocolate Mini Cheesecake Plant Protein Recipe

Did someone say hot chocolate, cheesecake & marshmallows all in the one sentence? This recipe is raw, vegan, protein packed, gluten & refined sugar free!
The flavour combo is one of our favourites and can potentially serve 6 (well up to 6 people depending if you eat them all and don't share them)

Ingredients:

Base:

• 1 cup almond meal
• 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder from @thenewtritionco 
• 1 heaped tbsp nut butter
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp coconut oil melted
• (add a splash of plant based milk if the base is too dry)

Cheesecake:

• 2/4 cup raw cashews
• 1 heaped tbsp coconut yoghurt
• 1 heaped tbsp cocoa powder 
• 1 tsp maple syrup 
• 1 tbsp plant based milk 

Toppings:

• Vegan marshmallows @freedommallows 
• Chocolate shavings

Method:

• In a mixing bowl add base ingredients and mix until combined
• In a small blender cup, add cheesecake ingredients and blitz until smooth and creamy 
• (be patient, this takes time). You may need to add some milk if too thick
• Grease mini cheesecake pan with coconut oil 
• Divide base evenly in the pan and press down 
• Pour cheesecake on top, add a marshmallow & chocolate 
• Freeze for a few hours until firm

Then all you have to do is allow some time for them to defrost before you enjoy them, with others or all to yourself :-)
