How to make it

Method (base) Grease a 6 hole
Method (base) Grease a 6 hole loose base / push up cookie cup tin with some dairy-free butter.

-
Remove from the heat and add

Add the cookies / biscuits into
Add the cookies / biscuits into a blender / food processor and blend until fine.

Pour the biscuit crumbs into the
Pour the biscuit crumbs into the melted butter and stir together using a wooden spoon or spatula. It should resemble wet sand, and when you press it between your fingers, should hold its shape. If it’s too wet, add in some more biscuit crumbs, if too dry, add in some more melted butter. Press approximately 1 & 1/2 tablespoons of mixture into each tin, making sure to compact it in using clean hands or spoon. The more compact it is, the less likely it will crumble. It’s best to use a loose base tin, I’ve linked a great one here. Place aside whilst you make the cheesecake filling. Method (cheesecake filling) The cashew nuts will need to be soaked overnight in water. See notes (at the bottom of the recipe card) for more details. Drain the cashew nuts from the water and place them into a food processor/blender along with the dairy-free cream cheese, icing sugar, coconut cream, vanilla and golden blonde spread. Whizz up on high speed for around 5 minutes until smooth. Add some more coconut cream if needed. I use a ‘Kitchenaid Powerplus blender’. It’s best to use a high-speed blender if possible as the mixture is quite thick, and you want it as smooth as possible. You might need to stop the mixture a few times and scrape down the sides to make sure everything is incorporated and smooth. Equally pour the mixture into each tin. Make sure to tap the cheesecakes onto the worktop to remove any air bubbles. Optional: Swirl some golden spread and sprinkle some chopped hazelnuts in-between the cheesecake in layers Place into the fridge overnight to set. Once set, remove from the fridge, and push out the cheesecake (as the base is loose bottomed). To make it easier, place the tin into the freezer for 15 minutes to help firm up the cheesecakes, then slide a knife around the edges of the cheesecakes to help loosen them from the tin. Making the cheesecakes firmer will help push them out the tin and won’t damage them. Method (whip cream) Whip up the whipping cream (either in a stand mixer fitted with balloon whisk attachment, or with an electric hand whisk) along with 1/2 tablespoon of the golden spread (optional) until it holds a peak.

Transfer the cream into a piping
Transfer the cream into a piping bag fitted with a medium round tip nozzle. Drizzle some of the golden spread around the top edge of the cheesecake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Make a little well in the middle of the cream using a spoon and pipe / spoon in some of the golden hazelnut spread. Finish with a sprinkle of some roughly chopped hazelnuts and a little chocolate praline cookie.
