## Chocolate Orange Cheesecake, Justine Murphy of *Mymuybueno*

**INGREDIENTS**  
**For the base:**

- 100g of pecans
- 100g of almonds
- 80g of desiccated coconut
- 2 of tbsp cacao powder
- 100g of medjool dates, pitted
- 1 tsp of vanilla powder
- Pinch of Himalayan salt
- 100g of brown rice syrup or maple syrup

**For the filling:**

- 400g of cashews, soaked in water overnight
- 100g of brown rice syrup or maple syrup
- 6 tbsp of carton coconut milk
- 70g of cacao powder
- Pinch of Himalayan salt
- 100g of cacao butter
- 100ml of fresh orange juice
- 1 tsp of orange extract

**For the topping:**

- 1 orange

 

 

 

**METHOD**

1. Line a 20cm cake tin with parchment paper. In the food processor, blend the pecans and almonds into small pieces. Add all the other ingredients and process until well combined and sticky. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the base of the tin so it’s well compacted and place in the freezer to firm up.
2. To make the filling, drain and rinse the cashews, discarding the soaking water, then blitz them in the processor with the syrup, coconut milk, cacao and salt.
3. In a saucepan, melt your cacao butter until it becomes liquid. Add this to the processor last and continue to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4. Add the orange juice and extract and then blend again until well incorporated.
5. Pour the filling over the base and tap the whole tin down on the counter firmly to release any air bubbles and help to distribute it evenly in the tin.
6. Place the cheesecake back into the freezer and leave overnight to completely firm up. Remove from the freezer at least 10 minutes before you wish to serve the cheesecake, allowing it ample time to thaw and be easy to cut.
7. Before serving, zest the orange directly over the cheesecake so that the oils and juice release over the cake. Cover it generously, being careful not to include any white pith as this is bitter.

## **Blueberry Tart**

**INGREDIENTS**

- 150g of jumbo rolled oats
- 50g of ground almonds
- 25g of desiccated coconut
- 50g of maple syrup
- 50g of coconut oil, melted
- Pinch of Himalayan salt

**For the filling**

- 350g of cashews, soaked in water overnight
- 100ml of coconut oil, melted
- 100ml of carton coconut milk
- 200ml of water
- 250g of brown rice syrup or maple syrup
- Pinch of Himalayan salt
- ¼ tsp of vanilla powder
- 2 tbsp of lemon juice
- 3 tbsp of blueberry powder
- 400g of fresh blueberries, to decorate

 

 

 

 

**METHOD**

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a 20cm fluted loose-bottomed tart tin with coconut oil, then line it with parchment paper.
2. To make the base, add the rolled oats to your food processor and whizz up to a flour-like texture. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until well combined.
3. Press the mixture into your prepared tart tin evenly and prick the base a few times with a fork, place onto a baking tray, then bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove it from the oven and leave in the tin for 10 minutes to cool, then gently turn the base out and leave it to cool completely on a wire rack.
4. While the base is cooling, drain and rinse the cashews, discarding the soaking water, then process them in a blender with the melted coconut oil, coconut milk, water, syrup and salt until smooth.
5. You now need to separate the mixture. Pour half of it into a jug and stir in the vanilla powder and lemon juice. Add the blueberry powder to the other half of the mixture, which is still in the blender, with an extra tablespoon of water and blend until smooth, then pour into another jug.
6. Holding both jugs, one in each hand, pour the filling mixtures over the cooled tart base, ensuring the vanilla and blueberry mixtures are layered and dolloped evenly. Swirl them together with a toothpick in ‘S’ movements to get a beautiful marbled effect –less is more, so try not to overdo this.
7. Place the tart in the freezer for 15 minutes, then as the cheesecake mixture starts to set you can add the fresh blueberries, pressing them very gently into the filling around the edge. Place the decorated tart back into the freezer and leave overnight to completely firm up.
8. Remove it from the freezer 10 minutes before you wish to serve the tart, allowing it ample time to thaw and become easy to cut.

## **Sous Chef Chocolate Fudge, *Miele De Kern***  

**INGREDIENTS**

- 500g of chocolate (either dark or milk)
- 1 tbsp of butter
- 1 tsp of vanilla essence
- 1 can of condensed milk

 

 

 

**METHOD**

1. Melt the chocolate in a saucepan over the hob, stirring gently until melted. Alternatively use a Miele Food Warming Drawer at 85°C for 10-15 minutes.
2. Once melted, add the butter, vanilla essence and condensed milk and mix well.
3. Stir until everything has combined and thickened. At this point, you could add dried fruits or chopped nuts to flavour the fudge if desired. If using a warming drawer, leave the mix in at the same temperature, stirring 3 or 4 times occasionally. The consistency should thicken on each stirring.
4. After 2 hours, transfer the mixture into a lined Tupperware container and put in the fridge to cool and set.
5. Once cooled and firm, cut into cubes and enjoy.
