Avocado Chocolate Cheesecake
(Replace the cocoa powder with fresh fruit for a different flavor, ie strawberry, blueberry, applesauce, peanut butter).

1/3 cup blanced almonds
1/4 cup shredded coconut
4 prunes
1/3 cup walnuts
1/2 - 1 teaspoon water
1 teaspoon melted coconut oil
Steps; one really. Put all crust ingredients in a food processor, blend until thoroughly processed, press into springform pan.
Filling:
3 large avocados
1/4 cup cream of plantain (similar to corn starch)
1 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 drops vanilla medicine flower essence or seeds of 1/3 vanilla bean
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon melted coconut butter
3 tablespoons melted coconut oil

Few drops agave nectar for extra sweetness
Methods/steps
Blend the avocado, maple, and vanilla in a high speed blender until completely smooth.
Add the coconut butter, oil, cocoa powder and salt. Blend again.
Pour the filling over the crust.
Chill in the fridge for 6-8 hours.
Note: if making in a 6" springform pan, double the crust and triple the filling recipe.
I use avocados to replace anything creamy. It's true it has a unique flavor
