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
