  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 measuring cup set
  • 1 measuring spoon set

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 1 cup almonds
  • 2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

  • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Stir in the melted chocolate chips until fully incorporated.
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust and spread evenly using a spatula.

Notes

For best results, ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning the recipe to allow for smooth blending. If the dates are too dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before using. This no-bake cheesecake is best served chilled, and you can add more toppings like shaved chocolate or additional cherries for extra flavor and presentation.
