In mixing bowl, combine all crust ingredients until well combined. Use fingers to mash up dates. Alternately, use food processor to combine all crust ingredients. (Note: Mixture should be relatively dry, but moist enough to hold together.)

Into baking pan lined with parchment paper or greased with coconut oil, press crust mixture onto bottom of pan. Set aside.

In high-speed blender, combine all filling ingredients until very smooth and light in texture. (Note: There should be no chunks.)

Into pan with crust, pour half the filling, leaving other half in blender.

To blender, add cacao powder and mix until well combined and smooth.

Pour on top of cheesecake layer.
