Instructions
1. Fig jam: Cut figs into small pieces and add to a small saucepan with maple syrup, and place over low heat. Cook until jammy consistency. Let it cool.
2. Crust: Add all ingredients except for the coconut oil and dates into the food processor. Process until a fine meal is achieved.
3. Add melted coconut oil and dates then mix until a loose dough is formed. You should be able to squeeze the mixture between two fingers and form a dough. If too dry, add a bit more melted coconut oil or dates.
4. Press the mixture into your pan.
5. Place the figs.
6. Cheesecake: Add all ingredients for the cheesecake to a blender and blend until very creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust flavour as needed. Pour it over the crust and spread into an even layer. Add fig jam too.
7. Freeze overnight.
8. Store leftovers in the freezer for up to 1 month.
