Method
Step 1: Melt down the coconut oil and then leave aside to cool, you will need this later.
Separately melt down the butter.Step 2: To make the base, crush biscuits down to a fine texture. Add to a bowl and stir in
the melted butter and granola butter.Step 3: Press the mixture down into the base of a silicone cake tin. Leave to chill in the
fridge.Step 4: To make your filling, whip the whipping cream until soft peaks form. Carefully
fold the icing sugar into the cream until smooth.Step 5: Add the cream cheese and granola butter to the mixture and fold until combined and smooth.
Step 6: Stir through the coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Pour the mixture over the
set base and chill overnight.Optional topping:
Step 7: Finely chop the chocolate, and gently melt together with the milk – we used a Bain Marie. Stir until melted and glossy, then allow to cool for 15 minutes.
Step 8: Once cooled, pour over the cheesecake, and allow to set in the fridge. Once fully
set, cut into slices and garnish with berries.Tip – If the tin is difficult to remove, place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
