Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need to make this creamy, dreamy vegan Oreo cheesecake:

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups crushed Oreo cookies (about 18 cookies)
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil (or vegan butter)

For the Filling:

  • 1 ½ cups raw cashews, soaked overnight or for at least 4 hours
  • 1 cup coconut cream (just the thick part from a can of coconut milk)
  • ½ cup maple syrup or agave syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 10-12 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped

Topping:

  • Extra Oreos for garnish, crushed or whole

How to Make Vegan Oreo Cheesecake

1. Prepare the Crust

  1. Crush the Oreos: In a food processor, pulse the Oreos until they’re finely ground. Combine with the melted coconut oil, stirring until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press into the Pan: Firmly press the crust mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer. Place it in the fridge to set while you prepare the filling.

2. Make the Creamy Filling

  1. Blend Cashews and Coconut Cream: Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a high-speed blender or food processor. Add the coconut cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  2. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high until the mixture is silky smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. Fold in Chopped Oreos: Transfer the filling mixture to a bowl and gently fold in the chopped Oreos, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.

3. Assemble and Chill

  1. Pour Filling Over the Crust: Spread the Oreo cheesecake filling evenly over the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  2. Refrigerate to Set: Let the cheesecake chill in the fridge for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight for best results. This allows the filling to firm up.

4. Decorate and Serve

  1. Slice and Enjoy: Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan, slice, and enjoy your luscious Vegan Oreo Cheesecake!
  2. Garnish with Extra Oreos: Just before serving, top your cheesecake with extra crushed or whole Oreos for a decorative touch.

Tips for Making the Perfect Vegan Oreo Cheesecake

  • Let It Set Overnight: If possible, let the cheesecake set overnight for optimal firmness.
  • Soak Cashews Well: Soaking the cashews is key to achieving a creamy texture. If you’re short on time, soak them in hot water for at least 1 hour.
  • Choose Quality Coconut Cream: For the best texture, use full-fat coconut cream, not coconut milk. This gives the filling that rich, luscious texture.

Variations and Creative Twists

Looking to mix things up? Here are some fun variations to try:

  • Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle melted vegan chocolate over the top for extra decadence.
  • Mint Oreo Cheesecake: Add a few drops of peppermint extract to the filling and use Mint Oreos for a refreshing twist.
  • Peanut Butter Swirl: Swirl in a few tablespoons of peanut butter into the filling before setting it for a delicious peanut butter and chocolate combo.

Serving Suggestions

  • As a Frozen Treat: Pop your slice in the freezer for a few minutes for a firmer, ice-cream-like dessert.
  • With Fresh Berries: Pair with raspberries or strawberries for a bright contrast.
  • With Whipped Coconut Cream: A dollop of coconut whipped cream adds a light, airy touch.

How to Store Your Vegan Oreo Cheesecake

  • Freezing: This cheesecake freezes well! Slice it, wrap each slice individually, and store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. Simply thaw in the fridge before enjoying.
  • Refrigeration: Store any leftover cheesecake in the fridge, covered, for up to 4-5 days.
