Ingredients

For the base:

  • 300 g Gingernut biscuits (These are almost always accidentally vegan but be sure to double check before buying. I used McVitie's)
  • 90 g Vegan margarine, melted

For the filling:

Instructions

  1. Crush the biscuits into super fine crumbs then place them into a large bowl with the melted margarine. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated in margarine.

  2. Press the biscuit crumbs tightly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan then place it in the fridge while you prepare the filling.

  3. Add the cream cheese and icing sugar to a large bowl. Mix well with a wooden spoon until smooth.

  4. Add the whipping cream and use an electric whisk or stand mixer to whip the filling up until thick. It should have the texture of a thick Greek yoghurt.

  5. Melt the white chocolate and let it cool for a minute or two. Add it to the bowl and gently fold it into the creamy filling using a spatula or metal spoon.

  6. Spoon the filling onto the cheesecake base and spread it out evenly. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours but ideally overnight.

  7. Once set, remove the sides of the springform tin and carefully loosen the bottom with a cake slice or knife. Gently transfer it to a cake stand or plate.

  8. Top with white chocolate curls or buttons and/or a drizzle of melted chocolate.

Recipe Notes

  • Gingernut biscuits can be swapped for Digestive biscuits. Use 100g of vegan margarine instead.
  • Store covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.
