Ingredients

2 cup whole	Almonds, raw
1/2 cup	Coconut, shredded, unsweetened
1 tsp	Ginger, ground
100 gm	Butter, unsalted (melted)
1 tbsp	Malt syrup (rice malt syrup)
1 tbsp	Gelatin dry powder, unsweetened
1/2 cup	Coconut cream
100 gm	Cacao butter
500 gm	Cream cheese
1/3 cup	Malt syrup (rice malt syrup)
1/3 cup	Cacao powder, raw
1 cup pitted	Sweet cherry, raw (roughly chopped; use frozen if out of season or substitute with blueberries or raspberries)
100 gm	Dark chocolate (finely grated)

1. Lightly grease a 22 cm springform tin with butter.
2. Prepare base by placing almonds and coconut into a food processor. Blitz until you form a crumb similar to almond meal. Add in the ginger, melted butter and rice malt syrup and blitz a few times until the mixture is coated in the butter and rice malt syrup. Press the mixture into the base of the greased tin. Place into the freezer to set while making the filling.
3. To prepare the filling, place gelatin powder and 60 ml of water into a small cup or bowl. Mix until the gelatin becomes rubbery. Set aside.
4. Place the coconut cream and cacao butter into a small saucepan and place over a low heat. Heat until cacao butter melts. Add in gelatin, and stir to dissolve. Set aside and cool enough so that the mixture is almost at room temperature.
5. Next, place cream cheese, rice malt syrup, cacao powder, ¾ of the cherries and the gelatin mixture into a food processor. Blitz until smooth. Break up the remaining cherries into pieces and stir through the mixture.
6. Remove base of the cheesecake from the freezer and pour in the Filling. Smooth over the top with the back of a spoon. Place into the fridge and allow to set for 3 hours or overnight.
7. Once ready, top with grated dark chocolate. Slice into thin slices to serve.
