Ingredients

For the base:

  • 100g oats
  • 100g nuts of choice (can be mixed)
  • 100g dates

For the filling:

  • 2 x packs Bute Island Creamy Original Sheese
  • 100g sugar or stevia
  • 3 tbsp cornflour
  • 2 tbsp dairy-free milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the blueberry topping:

  • 150g frozen blueberries
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 170C/150 Fan/325F/Gas Mark 3 and grease and line a 20cm loose-bottomed cake tin.
  2. First make the base: Place the oats, nuts and dates into a food processor and blitz until broken down and the mixture comes together. Press into the tin and set aside.
  3. Place the Sheese, sugar/stevia, cornflour, milk and vanilla into a blender or food processor and whizz up until thick and creamy.
  4. Spoon over the base and smooth out evenly. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top feels firm. Leave to cool then chill in the fridge for at least three hours.
  5. Place the blueberries and maple syrup in a pan and bring to the boil. Simmer for five minutes until syrupy then set aside.
  6. When ready to serve, pop the cheesecake out of the tin, spoon over the blueberries and any extra syrup, slice and enjoy.

Original Creamy Sheese is available from Ocado (£2.10, 170g) and The Vegan Kind Supermarket (£2.48, 255g).
