This festive side dish is perfect to make in advance and freeze. I think it almost improves with time. I make a large batch and then freeze it in batches for Christmas day and then smaller amounts for other days over the holidays.

This cheesecake is so nutritious you could eat it for breakfast! The base is made from nuts, dates and coconut oil and the topping is strained yoghurt which I sweeten a little and decorate with pomegranate seeds, or whatever fruit or flavour you like. This is always popular in my cookery demos, no matter what time of year!
