1

Crush the cookies

Grab a rolling pin and some pent-up energy. Place your favorite vegan cookies in a ziplock bag and give them a good whack until they're nicely crushed. You can also use a food processor if you don't feel like taking out your frustrations today.

2

In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies with melted vegan butter. Mix them together until the crumbs are evenly coated in butter. This will serve as the base for your cheesecake.

3

Take a round springform pan and press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom. Make sure to create a smooth and even layer. Pro tip: Use the back of a spoon to press the crumbs down.

4

Prepare the vegan cream cheese filling

In a separate mixing bowl, combine vegan cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything together until smooth and creamy.

5

Add crushed cookies to the filling

Crush some more cookies to create cookie crumbles, but this time leave them a little chunkier. Gently fold the crushed cookies into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring even distribution.

6

Pour the filling onto the crust

Carefully pour the creamy filling onto the cookie crust in your pan. Spread it out evenly using a spatula so that every bite is filled with deliciousness.

7

Chill and refrigerate

Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let the cheesecake set and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you can wait that long. Patience is a virtue, my friend!

8

Garnish and enjoy

When the waiting game is finally over, remove the cheesecake from the fridge. Garnish it with extra cookie crumbles or even a drizzle of melted chocolate for some pizzazz. Slice it up and indulge in the creamy delight!
