Instructions
Base
- Line the bottom and sides of your 9×9 inch baking tin with parchment/baking paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished bars out (this just makes removing the bars from the tin easier!). Set aside.
- Crush your biscuits into crumbs. Pour in your melted vegan butter and mix,
- Transfer into your pre-lined baking dish. Using a spoon or a measuring cup pack in tightly. It needs to be packed tightly to prevent it from falling apart when cutting into bars.
Cheesecake Layer
- In a bowl, combine your vegan cream cheese, caster sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest.
- Warm-up your vegan cream cheese mixture in the microwave or over a bain-marie, stirring occasionally. You need the mixture to be very warm but not boiling.
- Once warm, remove from the bain-marie and mix in your chopped strawberries. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, heat your oat milk with agar agar powder. Whisk over medium heat for 2 minutes.
- Pour your oat milk + agar agar mixture over your cream cheese mixture. Give it a quick stir, then pour over your biscuit base.
- If you see any bubbles on the top of your cheesecake, pop them using a toothpick. Do this as quickly as your cheesecake will start setting pretty quickly. (If you don't mind bubbles, you can skip this step)
- Carefully transfer your cheesecake bars into the fridge. Refrigerate overnight (or atleast 3 hours) .
- Lift the cheesecake out of the baking tin using the parchment/baking paper overhang on the sides. Cut into bars using a shape knife – for super clean cuts, wipe your knife between every cut. Garnish with strawberries and enjoy!
