Recipe:
Ingredients:
- Biscuit Base:
- 7-8 Biscoff Biscuits (or digestive biscuits), crushed into fine crumbs
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter, melted
- No-Bake Cheesecake Filling:
- 110g (4 oz) cream cheese, softened (vegan or regular as preferred)
- 50g (1/3 cup) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 120ml (1/2 cup) whipped cream, whipped to medium peaks (dairy-free or regular)

- 30g (3-4 tablespoons) blueberry jam
Instructions:

- Add vanilla extract and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Gently fold the whipped cream and 15g powdered sugar into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- Use an ice cream scoop to evenly distribute the cheesecake filling over the biscuit bases.
- Add the Blueberry Swirl:
- Drop a few teaspoons of blueberry jam onto each cheesecake. Use a toothpick to swirl the jam into the filling.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 12 hours to allow the cheesecakes to set.
