Oreo Cashew Cheese Cake!

Oreo Cashew Cheese Cake!

I made this amazing cheese cake for my house mates and they absolutely loved it! All you need is a cute pie dish, a blender and an oven.

(Makes 1 shallow cheese cake)

Ingredients:

2 packets of Oreo biscuits

500g cashews, soak for 1-3 hrs

1 lemon

4 tbsp coconut syrup or agave

100ml water

1 handful crushed raspberries

Chocolate Glaze:

1 tbsp coconut nectar

2 tsp cacao powder

2 tsp coconut oil

Twist the oreos and take out the creamy middle and set aside in two separate bowls. Crush up the biscuit part until its super crumbly and mix with a few tbsp of water to form a squishy mouldable dough. Line the dish with some baking paper, scrunch the paper up and then it will mould easier to the dish. Spread out the biscuit to form the base and place in the oven for 15 minutes  at 200 degrees celsius. Meanwhile,  place the soaked cashews into a blender along with the juice of the lemon, the syrup and about 100ml water. Blend until super smooth. Add in the cream from the oreos if you desire. Pour the thick mixture onto the cooled base, smooth out and top with the crushed raspberries. Mix the chocolate glaze ingredients together, melting the coconut oil in a pan if needed and drizzle on top of the cheese cake. Pop in the freezer for 2 hours or the fridge overnight. Serve!

Hazelnut Custard Apple Crumble! HCLF VEGAN

Hazelnut Custard Apple Crumble! HCLF VEGAN

Apple crumble is one of those comfort favourites everyone loves! I made this with my two lovely friends (one has even gone vegan!) They absolutely loved it and said the custard was even better than normal custard! It's low in fat and made with simple ingredients you probably already have! Here's the recipe:

(Serves 4-6)

Ingredients:

Filling~

2 large cooking apples 

2 tsp cinammon 

200ml water

Crumble~

200g flour (gf or plain)

200g oats

5 tbsp syrup (golden, agave, sweet freedom, maple)

1 tbsp coconut oil (optional)

50ml water

Custard~ 

600ml hazelnut milk

1 tbsp custard powder 

1 squirt date syrup (optional from sainsburys)

Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius. Add the filling ingredients to a pan and simmer until nicely stewed and thick. Meanwhile in a large bowl add the flour and oats, then gradually add the syrup mixing continuously to form a crumbly texture. Then add the coconut oil and gradually mix in the water. Once the apple is cooked pour into a dish and sprinkle the crumble on top. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes until golden! 

To make the custard gradually heat the hazelnut milk until steaming but not boiling. In a large bowl add the custard powder and about 4 tbsp cold milk, mix to form a runny paste. Once the milk is hot pour into the paste stiring continuously, then pour back in the pan and heat until thick. Serve poured over the crumble and topped with date syrup!

I hope you make this for all your friends and family. It's low fat and super delicious making you feel good after. 

Lots of love,
