Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, crush the chocolate digestive biscuits and mix them with the melted vegan butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of mini cheesecake tins to form a firm base.
- In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, coconut cream, maple syrup, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the cheesecake filling evenly over the biscuit bases in the tins.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until set.
- Once baked, let the mini cheesecakes cool before transferring them to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
- Before serving, top with Vegan Kit Kats and drizzle chocolate syrup generously over the mini cheesecakes.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: If cashews are unavailable, soaked silken tofu can work as a great alternative for the filling’s creaminess.
- Optional Variations: Feel free to swap out the chocolate digestive biscuits for a crumbly almond or gluten-free biscuit for a different flavor profile.
- Storage or Reheating Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. The cheesecakes are best enjoyed cold and do not require reheating.
