Ingredients

  • Granola base
  • ¾ cup (190 mL) oats
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) freeze-dried raspberry powder (optional)
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) maple syrup
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) skinless, blanched almonds, chopped
  • 3 squares (30 g) Lindt Excellence Raspberry Dark Chocolate, chopped
  • Cheesecake
  • ¾ cup (190 mL) cream cheese
  • ½ cup (125 mL) 35% whipping cream
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract
  • ½ lemon, zested
  • Decoration
  • Assorted berries, including raspberries
  • 3 squares (30 g) Lindt Excellence Raspberry Dark Chocolate

Method

  1. GRANOLA BASE: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Combine all the granola base ingredients (except the chocolate) and spread onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  2. Bake for 10 min and mix with a spatula to ensure even toasting.
  3. Bake for another 5 to 8 minutes, until crunchy. Put chopped chocolate in a mixing bowl and drop (still warm) granola into it. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted.
  4. Transfer the granola back onto your tray and leave to cool.
  5. CHEESECAKE: Whisk all the cheesecake ingredients together until they reach the consistency of whipped cream. Transfer into a piping bag.
  6. Pipe one layer of cheesecake mix into a glass, followed by a layer of granola, another layer of cheesecake and garnish with berries.
  7. Top with a diamond of Lindt Excellence Raspberry Dark Chocolate.
