INGREDIENTS

For the base:

  • 150g Oreo cookies
  • 50g dairy-free butter or margarine

For the cheesecake filling:

  • 260g dairy-free whipping cream (e.g., Elmlea Plant-Based Alternative Double Cream)
  • 160g dairy-free cream cheese (see notes*)
  • 8 Oreo cookies

For topping:

  • 20g dairy-free whipping cream
  • 4 Oreo cookies

INSTRUCTIONS

Make the base:

  • Melt the dairy-free butter or margarine in a small saucepan over low heat. Once fully melted, remove from heat and transfer to a medium-sized, heatproof mixing bowl.
  • Blend the Oreo cookies in a food processor until finely ground. Add the cookie crumbs to the melted butter and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula. The mixture should resemble wet sand and hold its shape when pressed.
  • Divide the mixture evenly into a cookie cup tin, pressing it down firmly with clean hands. The more compact the base, the less likely it will crumble.
  • Place the tin in the freezer while preparing the cheesecake filling.

Make the cheesecake filling:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the dairy-free whipping cream and cream cheese. Whip on low speed at first, then increase to high speed. Whip for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes thick and creamy. A stand mixer with a balloon whisk attachment works best, but a hand mixer can also be used.
  • Blend the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs, then add them to the whipped mixture. Whip again until fully combined.
  • Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag fitted with a large round nozzle (or simply snip off the tip of a piping bag).
  • Pipe the filling evenly into the prepared cookie cups, then smooth the tops with an offset spatula.
  • Freeze for about 4 hours, or until firm to the touch. If using push-up tins, gently push up the bases to release the cheesecakes. If they haven’t set properly, they may not come out cleanly.
  • Once firm, transfer the cheesecakes to the fridge to soften slightly while preparing the whipped cream topping.

Decorate

  • Whip the dairy-free whipping cream on high speed until thick.
  • Transfer the whipped cream into a piping bag fitted with an open star tip nozzle and pipe a swirl onto each cheesecake.
  • Garnish with half an Oreo and a sprinkle of cookie crumbs. Enjoy!

NOTES

  • Storage: Keep the cheesecakes in the fridge and enjoy within 2 days. Store them chilled until ready to serve.
  • Best dairy-free cream cheese options: Recommended brands include Violife Original Cream Cheese and Sainsbury’s Free From Soft Cream Cheese, both of which are vegan-friendly.
