For the Cheesecake Filling

• 200g raw cashew nuts (soaked overnight)

• 500g dairy-free cream cheese

• 50g coconut cream

• 100g icing sugar

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 10–15 Oreo cookies (roughly chopped)

For the Chocolate Ganache

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Base

1. Line the Tin: Line the base of an 8-inch loose-bottomed cake tin with greaseproof baking paper.

2. Melt & Blend: Melt the dairy-free butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Meanwhile, place 300g of Oreo cookies into a food processor and blend until they form fine crumbs.

3. Press and Set: Pour the cookie crumbs into the melted butter and stir thoroughly. The mixture should resemble wet sand and hold its shape when pressed. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the prepared tin. Compacting it tightly prevents crumbling. Place the tin in the freezer to set while you prepare the filling.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

1. Blend Until Smooth: Drain and rinse your pre-soaked cashew nuts. Place them into a high-speed blender or food processor along with the dairy-free cream cheese, coconut cream, icing sugar, and vanilla extract.

2. Process: Blend on high speed for approximately 5 minutes until completely smooth and velvety. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure everything is thoroughly incorporated.

3. Fold & Chill: Gently fold the roughly chopped Oreo cookies into the mixture. Pour the filling over the chilled crust. Tap the tin firmly against the countertop to release any trapped air bubbles, then smooth the top. Place in the refrigerator overnight to set completely.

Step 3: Decorate and Serve

1. Release: Once fully set, carefully push the cheesecake up out of the loose-bottomed tin and transfer it onto a serving platter.

2. Make the Ganache: Combine the dark chocolate and dairy-free cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until completely melted, glossy, and pourable. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then pour over the top of the cheesecake, spreading it evenly to the edges with an offset spatula.

3. Garnish: Whip your dairy-free whipping cream until stiff peaks form and transfer it into a piping bag fitted with a star tip nozzle. Pipe elegant swirls around the perimeter of the cooled ganache. Garnish by pressing half-Oreos into the cream swirls and dusting the top with fine Oreo crumbs.

Baker’s Tip: For a perfectly smooth texture, ensure your cashews are fully soaked. If you are short on time, you can quick-soak them in boiling water for 30–60 minutes before blending.
