Vegan Cheesecake
8 portions
210mWith a little bit of planning ahead, you can create this beautifully creamy vegan cheesecake. The texture is so fluffy and smooth with a delicious coconutty, vanilla flavored custard. I reccomend serving with raspberries or fruit jam of your choice! You will need to soak the cashews for a few hours beforehand, and chill the cheesecake in the freezer for at least 3 hours before serving.
What you will need
1 cup Oats
1/2 cup Unsalted Almonds
3/4 cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
3 Tbsp Maple Syrup
1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
1/2 cup Nut Butter
3/4 cup Coconut Milk
1 1/4 cup Sugar
2 cup Unsalted Cashews
