Ingredients

For the Base:

• 150g Oreo Cookies
• 50g dairy-free butter or margarine

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 260g dairy-free whipping cream (1 pot of Elmlea Plant-Based Alternative Double Cream)
• 160g dairy-free cream cheese
• 8 Oreo cookies, finely blended
• 20g dairy-free whipping cream

For Decoration:

• 4 Oreo cookies, for decoration

Instructions

1. Prepare the Oreo Base

1. Melt the Butter:
   In a small saucepan, melt 50g of dairy-free butter or margarine over low heat. Once fully melted, remove from heat and pour into a medium-sized, heat-proof mixing bowl.
2. Make the Cookie Crumbs:
   Add 150g of Oreo cookies to a blender or food processor and blend until you achieve a fine crumb texture. Pour the cookie crumbs into the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. It should hold its shape when pressed between your fingers.
3. Form the Base:
   Press some of the cookie mixture into each cup of a cookie tin, ensuring it’s compacted well using clean hands. The more compact, the less likely it is to crumble later. Place the tin in the freezer to firm up while you prepare the filling.

2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

1. Whip the Cream and Cream Cheese:
   In a medium-sized bowl, combine 260g of dairy-free whipping cream and 160g of dairy-free cream cheese. Start whipping on low speed to prevent splashing, then increase to high speed. Whip until the mixture is thick and creamy, about 5 minutes. You can use a stand mixer or a hand whisk for this step.
2. Incorporate the Oreo Crumbs:
   Add the finely blended 8 Oreo cookies to the whipped mixture and whip until fully combined. The mixture should be smooth and well-mixed.
3. Pipe the Filling:
   Transfer the cheesecake filling to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip nozzle (or simply snip off the tip of the piping bag). Pipe the filling evenly into each prepared cookie cup, leveling off the tops with an offset spatula.

3. Freeze and Finish

1. Freeze the Cheesecakes:
   Place the cheesecakes into the freezer for 4 hours or until firm to the touch. If you’re using push-up tins, release the cheesecakes by pushing up the bases of the tins. Make sure the cheesecakes are firm enough; otherwise, they won’t come out neatly.
2. Prepare the Whipped Cream Topping:
   Once the cheesecakes are firm, move them to the fridge to defrost slightly. In the meantime, whip 20g of additional dairy-free whipping cream in a bowl until thick. Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with an open star tip nozzle.
3. Decorate:
   Pipe a swirl of whipped cream on top of each cheesecake. For the final touch, decorate each cheesecake with half an Oreo cookie and some cookie crumbs.
