For the base:
- 200g biscuits (like Graham crackers)

For the filling:
- 12.3oz package silken extra firm tofu
- 1 1/2 C raw cashews (soaked or boiled for 10-15 min)

Instructions

- Grease the sides and line the base of your springform pan with parchment paper. Blitz biscuits, melted coconut oil and maple syrup into crumbs. Press it firmly into the base of your tin. Put it in a fridge for 10 minutes to firm up.
- Meanwhile prepare the filling of vegan cheesecake. Place all ingredients in a blender and process until very smooth. High-speed blender is recommended.
- Pour the mixture onto the biscuit base and even it up.

- Decorate with your favorite fruits or drizzle with melted chocolate and serve.
Notes
I used the 9 inch diameter pan and it was a bit too wide. So you might want to use smaller one or just double the filling ingredients (why not?).
