1

Prepare the crust

In a food processor, blend 1 cup of almonds, 1 cup of pitted dates, 2 tablespoons of cacao powder, and a pinch of salt until the mixture becomes sticky and holds together when pressed. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

2

Make the filling

Drain and rinse 2 cups of raw cashews. In a high-speed blender, combine the cashews, 1/2 cup of melted coconut oil, 1/2 cup of maple syrup, 1/4 cup of raw cacao powder, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a dash of peppermint extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.

3

Add the minty twist

Remove half of the filling mixture from the blender and set it aside. To the remaining mixture, add a few drops of green food coloring and a bit more peppermint extract to intensify the minty flavor. Blend until well combined.

4

Layer the fillings

Pour the green mint filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Next, gently pour the reserved plain filling on top, spreading it evenly. Use a toothpick to create swirls by gently swirling the green and white fillings together.

5

Chill and serve

Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or until firm. Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves and a sprinkle of cacao powder. Slice, serve, and brace yourself for a taste sensation!
