Oreo Cheesecake

For the Crust:
- 28 Golden Oreos (or half a box of oreo crumbs)
- 1/3 cup (75g) Vegan Butter (Melted)
For the Filling:
- 1 14oz (400ml) Can Coconut Cream (Chilled in the fridge overnight)*
- 1 cup (150g) Raw Cashews (I used honey roasted peanuts instead)
- 2 Tubs (8oz each) Dairy-Free Cream Cheese (We used Tofutti)
- 1 and 2/3 cups (330g) Caster Sugar (Superfine Sugar)*
- 1/2 cup (64g) Cornstarch (I reccomend 1/3 cup instead)
- 5 Tbsp Lemon Juice ** important**
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Zest of 1 Lemon (~2 Tbsp)
For the Topping (Optional):
- 6 Golden Oreos (Crushed) or homemade berry sauce
For A Berry Good Sauce:
- 1 cup of your choice of berries, fresh or frozen
- 1 cup of sugar
- 2-3 tbsp of lemon juice
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C).
- Add the oreo cookies to the blender and process into crumbs. Melt the vegan butter and add to the blender, blending until all the crumbs are coated. Spray a 9-inch round baking dish and then press your oreo crust down into an even layer. Set aside while you prepare your filling.
- Blend the coconut cream first, and then add the cashew nuts and blend them in. Set aside.
- Add the two tubs of dairy-free cream cheese to a separate bowl, along with the caster sugar, cornstarch, salt, lemon juice and vanilla extract and blend or mix by hand.
- Add the coconut cream and cashew mix along with some lemon zest to the cream cheese mix and mix in by hand
- Pour the filling over the crust and smooth down.
- Bake for 60 minutes. When it’s finished baking it will be a little jiggly in the middle.
- Move to the fridge until chilled through. It’s ideal if you can leave it overnight.
- When it’s completely chilled, add the topping or berry sauce and serve!
Instructions For Sauce:
- Add all the items together in a saucepan on medium low heat, stir well
- Once the juices begin to appear, continue stirring to coat the remaining fruit and encourage more juicing
- Turn up to medium high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil
Thank you for these recipes! I need to eat diary free but I never do because I feel like it will be too hard!
