Soak the cashews by placing them in a bowl and then top with water. Let soak for 2-4 hour or until soft. See notes for how to quick soak the cashews.
Preheat oven to 350 and grease an 8-inch springform pan.
In a food processor, combine the pecans, cacao nibs, chia seeds, baking soda and salt and pulse until the pecans and cacao nibs are coarse meal.
Add in the maple and vanilla extract and pulse until the crust starts to form into a loose ball.
Place the dough in the bottom of the springform pan and press on the bottom and up the sides some. The dough will be sticky, and you can always oil your hands some if too sticky.
Bake for 14 minutes and then let cool while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
Add all of the ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour the mixture on top of the crust and place in the freezer for 6-8 hours or until cheesecake has set.
When you are ready to serve the cheesecake make the ganache.
Heat the coconut milk in a bowl and add the dark chocolate. Let the chocolate sit in the warm milk for 1-2 minutes and then use a whisk to combine the coconut milk and melted chocolate.
Pour the ganache on top of the frozen cheesecake and spread it to the sides of the cheesecake.
Top with pecans and cacao nibs. Let the cheesecake thaw for 10-15 minutes and then serve.
