How To Make Creamy Peanut Butter Cheesecake [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
To Make the Base:

This will take around 5-10 minutes on high.
- Pour the cheesecake layer onto the base and tap the tin on the worktop to remove any air bubbles and level.

To decorate, you can sprinkle some peanuts over it and add a drizzle of dark chocolate.
- To serve, fully defrost the cheesecake for a few hours (3-4 hours) until thoroughly defrosted.
- Store in a sealed container in the fridge. Best enjoyed within 3 days.
Notes
Be sure when soaking the cashews overnight that the water fully covers them.
