    Instructions

    1. In a food processor , combine the crust ingredients. Press mixture into a greased spring form pan . If you don't have a spring form pan, you can mini cheesecakes by pressing the mixture into lined muffin cups . Stick in the fridge to firm up.
    2. While the crust is in the fridge, drain and rinse the cashews. Add them to the food processor with the rest of the cheesecake ingredients. Blend until smooth. Pour the cheesecake mixture on top of the crust and stick in the fridge for at least an hour.
    3. Once the cheesecake is semi set up, add the salted vegan sweetened condensed milk.

    Recipe Notes

    Note: It may take chilling overnight to get the cheesecake to completely firm up. This should last a couple weeks in the fridge. Enjoy!
