Method
Line the base of a small round, square or loaf tin with baking paper, ideally a springform tin if you have one.
Place the dates in a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend well until the dates form into a ball. Remove and set aside.
Place the walnuts and salt in the food processor and blend for 2-3 minutes, until quite finely ground.
Add the dates and blend for 1 minute until thoroughly combined. The mixture should stick together when you squeeze it gently between your fingers. If it's too dry, add 2-3 dates and blend again.
Pour the mixture into the tin and spread evenly. Press down very firmly using your fingers.
Place in the freezer.
Place the spice blend ingredients in a bowl, if using. Stir well.
Place the cheesecake layer ingredients in a bowl. Mix well with a spatula. If there are any lumps, whisk gently with a balloon whisk. Add 1-2 tsps of the spice blend. Stir well and taste. Add more if desired and stir again.
Pour the mixture over the cheesecake base and freeze for 2 hours or until firm. Cut into 6 pieces.
