???? Ingredients (in grams)
For the Crust:
- 200g Biscoff cookies (crushed into crumbs)
- 75g melted coconut oil or vegan butter
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 300g cashews (soaked for 4-6 hours or overnight)
- 100ml full-fat coconut milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 50g coconut oil (melted)
- 100g maple syrup (or any liquid sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
For the Topping:
- 50g Biscoff cookies (crushed)
- Extra Biscoff cookies for garnish (optional)
???? Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
- In a food processor or blender, pulse the Biscoff cookies until they form fine crumbs.
- Add the melted coconut oil or vegan butter to the cookie crumbs and mix well until the crumbs are fully coated.
- Spoon the cookie mixture into the bottom of a mini cheesecake pan (or individual muffin tins). Press down firmly to form a crust layer. Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the filling to allow it to set.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
- Drain and rinse the soaked cashews. Add them to a high-speed blender along with the coconut milk, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is blended evenly.
- Once the filling is smooth, carefully spoon it over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Be generous with the filling!
Step 3: Set the Cheesecakes
- Place the mini cheesecakes in the freezer for at least 3-4 hours, or until they are firm and set.
- Once the cheesecakes are fully set, remove them from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
Step 4: Add the Topping
- Just before serving, sprinkle the crushed Biscoff cookies over the top of the cheesecakes for a crunchy texture and extra flavor.
- Garnish with a whole Biscoff cookie if desired.
