Preparation Steps
- Begin by lining an 8-inch square cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, pulse the almonds (or hazelnuts) until they resemble coarse crumbs. Add the soaked pitted dates and blend until a sticky mixture forms. Transfer this mixture into the prepared pan and press it down firmly.
- Drain the soaked raw cashews and place them in a blender along with the frozen or fresh mango chunks, thick dairy-free yogurt, maple syrup, melted cacao butter, and lemon/lime juice. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Pour the creamy filling over the prepared base in the pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Prepare the mango topping by combining the mango puree, passionfruit pulp, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Once the filling has set, spread the cooled mango topping over the cheesecake layer. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes to firm up the topping.
- Remove from the pan using the parchment overhang and slice into bars. Serve chilled.
