Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Oreos or chocolate sandwich cookies (for crust)
- 4 tablespoons Vegan butter or margarine (melted)
- 400 grams Silken tofu (drained)
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (vegan, roughly chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 5 tablespoons Maple syrup (or agave syrup)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Prepare the crust by placing the Oreos or chocolate sandwich cookies into a food processor and pulsing until they form fine crumbs.
Transfer the cookie crumbs to a mixing bowl and stir in melted vegan butter until the mixture resembles damp sand.
Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, making sure to pack it down firmly.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then remove and let cool completely.
Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until completely smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a blender or food processor, combine the silken tofu, melted chocolate, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Pour the chocolate filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4-6 hours, or until it sets completely.
Slice and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or coconut whipped cream.
