Instructions
Method (base)
- Line the base of a loose base/push up tart tin with greaseproof paper. Grease up the sides of the fluted tin with dairy-free butter or coconut oil.
- Place the biscuits into a food processor/blender and whizz up until crumbly, but not too fine.
- Melt the dairy-free butter/margarine in a small saucepan over the hob.
- In a bowl, add in the crushed biscuits and pour over the melted butter and mix until like wet sand. You want it to hold it’s shape.
- Press the mixture into the lined tin, making sure to compact it in using a spoon or clean hands. The more compact it is, the less likely it will crumble.
- Place into the freezer whilst you make the filling.
Method (filling)
- Before making the cheesecake filling, you’ll want to soak the cashew nuts in a bowl of warm water overnight. This will make the cashews softer, creamier and easier to blend.
- Wash the drain the cashew nuts and place them into a high speed blender along with all of the filling ingredients. Blend on high until smooth. This will take around 5 minutes. Stop the blender and scrape down the sides a few times to ensure everything gets fully blended.
- Pour the filling over the base in stages, swirling in some raspberry jam and fresh raspberries in-between. Tap the tin on the worktop to remove any air bubbles and to level out.
- Place the cheesecake into the fridge and allow to sit in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight to fully set. You’ll know it’s ready when it’s firm to the touch.
Method (cream topping)
- Add the whipping cream into a stand mixer with a balloon whisk attachment or into a bowl using an electric hand whisk. Whip the whipping cream until soft peaks then add in the cornstarch/cornflour. The whipping cream should thicken. It won’t be incredibly thick, but thick enough that it’ll hold it’s shape on the dessert.
- Spread the cream over the top of the tart, swirling in more jam to create a ‘raspberry ripple’ effect.
- Top the tart with a handful of fresh raspberries.
- Allow the tart to chill in the fridge again until fully set, then tuck in and enjoy!
