Method
To make the crust

Add the walnuts, cashews and pepitas into a food processor and blitz until the nuts have broken down into crumbs.

Add the desiccated coconut and blitz for 60 seconds ensuring all dry ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Transfer the nut and coconut crumb mixture into a mixing bowl and add the rice malt syrup and coconut oil blending the wet ingredients throughout the crumb mixture.

Blitz the nuts and desiccated coconut and add rice malt syrup and coconut oil to form the cheesecake base.

Spread the bottom of a spring-form cake tin with the crumb base, using a spoon to press the surface until it’s smooth and even.

Place the crumb base into the freezer while preparing the filling.

Transfer the nut and coconut crumb into a springform cake tin and press until a compressed base has formed.

To make the filling

Mash the tofu and transfer to a food processor.

Warm the milk and add the gelatin powder and mix until the powder is completely dissolved.

Pour the milk into the mashed tofu and add the rice malt syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, coconut cream and cashews.

Process the ingredients until smooth then divide the filling across 3 bowls.

Transfer the filling from one of the bowls back into the food processor and add the matcha powder and baby spinach leaves and process until smooth.

In one of the other bowls add 4-6 tablespoons of the matcha cream and stir until mixed through, (the second bowl will be significantly lighter in colour).

Spread the filling across 3 bowls.

Remove the base of the cheesecake from the freezer and pour equal amounts of each coloured filling into the cake tin. Layer the colours such as white, light green and dark green.

Layer the coloured fillings into the cake tin.

Using the end of a toothpick swirl the top layer of the cheesecake filling so the colours bleed into one another to form an abstract pattern.
