Ingredients and Method

Ingredients

  • For the base:
  • 250g granola
  • 50g dates
  • 50ml coconut oil
  • Cheesecake layer:
  • 400g vegan cream cheese
  • 250ml vegan cream
  • 100g sugar
  • juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • Optional topping:
  • 100g sugar
  • 100ml milk of choice
  • 1 tbsp cornflour
  • 100ml lemon juice
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/8 tsp of tumeric

Method

  1. Blitz the granola into a fine crumb then add the dates and blitz again. Add the coconut oil if the mix doesn’t hold together.
  2. Press the mixture into your jars.
  3. In a large bowl add the cream, cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice and zest. Whisk until it thickens enough to hold on to the whisk.
  4. Pour this mixture over the bases then place in the refrigerator while you make the topping.
  5. Place all of the topping ingredients in a pan and whisk for a few minutes until it thickens. Allow to cool and pour over the cheesecakes.
  6. Decorate with mint, lemon slices and lemon zest.
