Cooking Instructions

    Put this mixture into the deep round baking form and press to the bottom using a glass to form a crust. Bake it for 5 minutes on 150 degrees Celsius

  6. 6

    Add some tapioca starch and run the blender until smooth

    Add agar agar powder and pulse until well combined (make sure not to run the blender constantly to avoid excessive heating of the razors, we don’t wont to activate agar agar and tapioca starch to early)

    Put a saucepan on a medium heat, pour your chocolate cheesecake mixture into the pan and constantly stirring (it could take 5 to 10 minutes) wait until the agar and tapioca starch will help the mass significantly thicken

    Transfer this mass onto your crust, help yourself with an offset spatula to form a nice cheesecake layer

    Finally, let it cool down completely in the fridge
