Decadent Vegan Chocolate Cheesecake with Oreo Crust

Experience the indulgence of a Decadent Vegan Chocolate Cheesecake with Oreo Crust. Every bite is a heavenly blend of rich chocolate and creamy cheesecake, with a satisfying crunch from the classic Oreo base.

Ingredients:

For the Oreo Crust:

• 16 (160g) original vegan Oreo-style cookies, finely ground for a perfect crust texture
• 3½ tbsp (50g) vegan block butter, to bind and enrich the crust
• A pinch of sea salt, to balance the sweetness

For the Chocolate Filling:

• 10.5 oz (300g) high-quality vegan dark chocolate, melted to a velvety consistency
• 14.1 oz (400g) vegan cream cheese, like Violife, for a luxuriously smooth filling
• 12.3 oz (300g) vegan Greek-style yogurt or Skyr, or soft silken tofu, for added creaminess
• 4 tbsp (20g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted, to intensify the chocolate flavor
• ½ cup (118 ml) pure maple syrup, to sweeten naturally
• 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract, for aromatic depth
• ¼ tsp sea salt, to enhance the chocolatey notes

For the Topping:

• Half a batch of vegan ganache, for a glossy finish
• 2.47 oz (70g) vegan dark chocolate, shaved or curled, for an elegant touch

Instructions:

1. Prepare your cake tin by lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Begin with the crust by blitzing the cookies with salt until finely ground. Mix in melted vegan butter until the mixture is cohesive. Press this into your cake tin, creating a smooth, even layer. Refrigerate.
3. For the filling, gently melt the chocolate using a double boiler until silky. Allow it to cool slightly.
4. In a large bowl, whisk the vegan cream cheese until fluffy. Blend in the yogurt, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
5. Incorporate the melted chocolate and maple syrup into the cream cheese mixture in stages, ensuring each addition is fully combined.
6. Once the mixture is homogenous, pour it over the chilled crust. Smooth the top and let it set in the fridge, ideally overnight.
7. For the topping, prepare a vegan ganache and let it cool until slightly thickened. Pour over the set cheesecake, spreading it for a smooth finish. Garnish with chocolate shavings or curls for a touch of sophistication.
