Gather your ingredients for a deliciously creamy treat.
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Crush the chocolate digestive biscuits in a bowl and combine them with melted vegan butter to form a crumbly mixture. Press this mixture firmly into mini cheesecake molds to create a solid base.
- In a high-speed blender, add the soaked cashews, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and coconut milk. Blend until you achieve a smooth and creamy filling.
- Chop the Vegan Kit Kats into small pieces and gently fold them into the cheesecake filling for added texture and flavor.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the biscuit base in the molds. Drizzle additional melted vegan chocolate on top and use a toothpick or knife to create a beautiful swirl effect.
- Bake the cheesecakes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After baking, remove them and let them cool before refrigerating for at least 4 hours to set properly.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient substitutions: You can use graham crackers instead of chocolate digestive biscuits for the base, and almond cream can be an alternative to coconut milk for a different flavor profile.
- Optional variations: For a fruity twist, add a layer of blended berries on top of the filling before baking or top with fresh fruit after chilling.
- Storage or reheating tips: Store any leftover mini cheesecakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. These treats are best enjoyed chilled and do not require reheating.
