Begin by soaking the raw cashews in hot water for at least 1 hour. This will soften them and make them easier to blend later.
Prepare the crust by crushing 20 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. You can do this by placing them in a food processor or placing them in a zip-top bag and using a rolling pin.
Melt the vegan butter in a saucepan or microwave, then mix it thoroughly with the Oreo crumbs.
Press the Oreo crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Place the pan in the freezer to set while you prepare the filling.
Drain the soaked cashews and place them in a high-speed blender or food processor. Add the coconut cream, maple syrup, lemon juice, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
Blend until completely smooth and creamy. This may take 2-5 minutes, depending on your blender's power.
Pour the cashew filling over the Oreo crust, then smooth the top with a spatula.
Break 8 remaining Oreos into large chunks and gently press them into the top of the cheesecake for decoration.
Place the cheesecake back in the freezer and allow it to set for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Before serving, let the cheesecake sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing.
Use a sharp knife to cut into slices and enjoy this delicious vegan Oreo cheesecake!
