Vegan Matcha Zebra Cheesecake

Ingredients

Crust

10 medjool dates pitted
1 cup hazelnuts
pinch of salt

Filling

2 cups raw cashews (soaked in water for 3 hours or soaked in very hot water for 1 hour)
½ cup coconut cream (or milk)
Juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder (from Carrington Farms)

Instructions

Crust

Put the dates, hazelnuts and salt in a food processor and grind until you get a sticky dough-like consistency. Don't over-process though, make sure you retain some texture.
Line a cake mold with parchment paper (I used a 6" (15cm) diameter round mold with release).
Lay the crust mix on the bottom of the mold and press with your hand to make it firm.

Filling

Save the matcha green tea for later, and put all the other filling ingredients in a high speed blender. Blend until smooth.
Transfer half of the filling to a separate container, and mix in the matcha green tea throughly.
Now you have two cream fillings: vanilla and matcha.
Repeat the process with alternating vanilla and matcha layers until you use up the filling.
Tap the mold on the counter a few times to release any trapped air bubbles.
Loosely wrap with stretch film and place in the freezer for 4 hours.
You can store it in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Thaw at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
