Ingredients (for the chocolate brittle):

 • 50g melted chocolate

• Joe & Seph's White Chocolate & Vanilla Bean Popcorn, chopped

• A pinch of salt

Method:

• Soak your cashews for a minimum of 4 hours

• For your base, mix all the ingredients together and press down into a cake dish and even out. 

• Place base mixture into freezer and get started on your chocolate later. 

• For the chocolate layer, melt the cacao butter and coconut oil in a pan on a low heat. 

• Separately, add the soaked cashew nuts, coconut milk and maple syrup to a food processor/blender and mix until creamy and smooth.

• Once blended, mix into your melted cacao butter and coconut oil until well combines. 

• Get your base out of the freezer, pour the mixture on top and pop it back into the freezer to get started on the next vanilla layer!

• For the vanilla layer, combine cashews, coconut milk and maple syrup in a food processor/blender until creamy.

• Pour in cacao butter, coconut oil and vanilla extract and blend until creamy. 

• Remove your cake tin from the freezer and add the vanilla layer. 

• Place back in the freezer for 2 hours and get started on the brittle. 

• For the chocolate brittle, start by melting your chocolate. 

• Place some cling film onto a flat surface (you will want a wide surface area!), pour over your melted chocolate and spread evenly (it wants to be quite thin).  

• Add the Joe & Seph's White Chocolate & Vanilla Bean chopped popcorn and salt, and pop into the fridge. 

• After 2 hours, take the cake out and layer over your Joe & Seph’s Salted Caramel Sauce. 

• Break up your brittle and place the shards on top of the cheesecake. 

• Serve & enjoy!
