Step-by-Step Instructions
- Melt 50g of dairy-free butter in a small saucepan over low heat. In a mixing bowl, combine 100g of crushed plain biscuits with 1 teaspoon of mixed all spice, then pour in the melted butter. Stir until fully combined, forming a crumbly mixture. Press this mixture into the bottom of mini cheesecake cups and freeze for about 20 minutes to set.
- While the crust sets, drain 125g of soaked cashew nuts and add them to a high-speed blender. Incorporate 250g of vegan cream cheese, 75g of icing sugar, 50g of coconut cream, 1 teaspoon of ground pumpkin spice, and 1 tablespoon of pumpkin purée. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Cover the mini cheesecakes with cling film and chill in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 4-6 hours until the filling is firm to the touch.
- When ready to serve, whip 100ml of dairy-free whipping cream until thick peaks form. Add a few drops of orange food gel if desired.
- Using a piping bag, pipe the whipped cream onto the chilled cheesecakes, forming mini peaks. Top with a piece of chocolate for a pumpkin stalk effect.
- Serve the Mini Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecakes chilled on a serving platter.
