Recipe: Vegan S’more Cheesecake

Makes 1 cheesecake

 

Ingredients

200g dark chocolate (check it’s vegan!)

1x 300g pack of silken/soft tofu 

Cocoa powder

1x packet of Ogg aquafaba 

160g caster sugar

Icing sugar

Vanilla extract

200ml oat milk

3 tablespoons of lemon juice

1 pack of digestive biscuits

50g plant butter/ margarine, melted

1 teaspoon agar agar powder

1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

 

Method

1) Make your biscuit base by crushing 200g of digestive biscuits with the melted margarine. Grab a 25cm tart tin with removable base, and pack the base with your biscuit mixture, making sure it covers everything and is flat. Chill in the fridge while you make everything else. 

2) Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. In a food processor blend the silken tofu, oat milk, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, 4 tablespoons of icing sugar, 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder and the lemon juice. Add the melted chocolate and blend until smooth. 

3) Layer your chocolate mixture onto your biscuit base and chill in the fridge. 

4) For your marshmallow top, whip up your Ogg aquafaba with the cream of tartar for 6 minutes until it forms stiff peaks. Add some vanilla extract and whip for 3 more minutes.

5) In a small saucepan, combine the agar agar with 160ml water. Bring to the boil and stir constantly for 3 minutes, then add the sugar, stirring well until completely dissolved.

6) While the sugar mixture is still hot (be careful!) Pour it carefully into your marshmallow mixture, whipping all the time. It should turn glossy after a couple of minutes. 

7) Top your chocolate cheesecake with the marshmallow fluff immediately, shapes, and allow to set in the fridge before serving.
