Description
A creamy and rich vegan cheesecake with an Oreo crust and dark chocolate ganache, perfect for dessert lovers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 300g Oreo cookies
- 150g dairy-free butter or margarine
- 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)
- 80g dairy-free dark chocolate
- 50ml dairy-free cream (single, double, or coconut cream)
- Dairy-free whipping cream (for decoration)
- Oreo cookies (halved, for topping)
- Finely ground Oreo crumbs (for topping)
Instructions
- Line the Tin: Line the base of an 8-inch loose-bottomed cake tin with greaseproof baking paper.
- 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.
- Press and Set: Pour the cookie crumbs into the melted butter and stir thoroughly. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared tin. Place the tin in the freezer to set.
- Blend Until Smooth: Drain and rinse the soaked cashew nuts. Blend them with dairy-free cream cheese, coconut cream, icing sugar, and vanilla extract in a high-speed blender.
- Process: Blend on high speed for about 5 minutes until smooth. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides.
- Fold & Chill: Gently fold the chopped Oreo cookies into the mixture. Pour over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate overnight to set.
- Release: Carefully push the cheesecake out of the tin onto a serving platter.
- Make the Ganache: Melt the dark chocolate and dairy-free cream in a saucepan over low heat until glossy. Allow to cool slightly, then pour over the cheesecake.
- Garnish: Whip dairy-free whipping cream and pipe swirls around the ganache. Garnish with half-Oreos and dust with fine Oreo crumbs.
Notes
For a perfectly smooth texture, ensure your cashews are fully soaked. You can quick-soak them in boiling water for 30–60 minutes if short on time.
