  • Scoop out base and spread evenly on a medium sized round spring cake tin (line the bottom with baking paper).
  • Sprinkle extra buckwheat on top of the base and place in freezer for 15 minutes.

  • Chocolate Layer:
  • Make sure you clean your food processor or blender before making this layer.
  • Rinse cashews under water and add all the ingredients and blend until it has a smooth and creamy texture (if you feel you need to add a little bit more water that is ok as long as it is still thick.
  • Take the base out of the freezer and scoop out the chocolate layer on top and smooth out with a spoon.
  • Make sure your edges are clean so the layers look good!
  • Place back into freezer for 1/2 an hour.

  • Mint Layer:
  • Rinse cashews under water and add all the ingredients and blend until it has a smooth and creamy texture (if you feel you need to add a little bit more water that is ok as long as it is still thick).
  • Take out your cheesecake out of the freezer and scoop the mint layer on top and smooth out top with a spoon.
  • Place back in freezer for a few hours or over night for it to set (it will become hard in freezer so leave out before serving).
  • When you are ready to eat, with a butter knife gently go around the edges of the cake making it easier to remove. Gently undo the cake tin and you can now transfer to a plate.

  • Toppings:
  • Sprinkle on your toppings however you like and enjoy this delicious treat!
  • Keep stored in fridge or place in freezer if you would like it to last longer.
