They combine a buttery biscuit base with a chocolate orange flavoured cheesecake topping, served in individual pots.

Frequently asked questions 

Which dairy free cream cheese do you use?

I personally find that the Violife Original creamy cheese works best for this particular cheesecake recipe. If you can’t get your hands on the Violife cream cheese, any dairy free original cream cheese alternative would work.

Which dairy free cream do you use? 

For this recipe I used the Elmea plant based double cream. This cream does have a ‘may contain milk’ warning on so is not suitable for milk allergy sufferers (I’m only intolerant!) but any other dairy free double cream would work. Alternatively, if you are not from the UK and are unable to get your hands on any dairy free double cream, dairy free heavy whipping cream would also work for this recipe.

Which biscuits do you use?

Most UK supermarkets sell a Free From digestive alternative. I used 2 packets of these for the base.

What dairy free chocolate orange do you use?

I use the Asda Free From Chocolate Orange Segments.

How long do I need to leave the cheesecake to set? 

They will need at least 4 hours in the fridge to set, but ideally should be left overnight.
