Ingredients

Scale

For the Chocolate Walnut Crumble

  • ½ cup (60 g) soft dates
  • ½ cup (60 g) walnuts
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

For the Silken Tofu “Cheesecake” Cream

  • 12 oz (350 g) silken tofu
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • Zest of ½ lemon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup (80 g) soft dates
  • 3 tbsp (45 g) cashew butter
  • 1/8 tsp salt

For the Layers

  • sugar-free plum compote (homemade or store-bought)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Plum Compote: If making from scratch, prepare your sugar-free plum compote first and let it cool completely.
  2. Make the Crumble: Add dates, walnuts, cocoa powder, and salt to a food processor. Pulse until a crumbly mixture forms. If it seems too dry, add one extra date.
  3. Blend the "Cheesecake" Cream: In a blender, combine silken tofu, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla, dates, and cashew butter. Blend until smooth and creamy. The texture should be light and mousse-like.
  4. Assemble the Dessert: Layer chocolate crumble, tofu cream, and plum compote in 4–6 small dessert glasses.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld. Then serve and enjoy!
