Ingredients

Strawberry Compote
  • 400 g strawberries
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
Cheesecake Filling
  • 300 g silken tofu
  • 2 tbsp desiccated coconut
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup strawberry compote

Instructions

Strawberry Compote

  • rinse strawberries, cut off leaves and halve. add to a small saucepan and heat on medium, along with lemon juice and maple syrup. cook for 10-12 mins until slightly thickened. set aside to cool, and once at room temperature, transfer to the fridge (in a jar or covered bowl) until completely chilled.

Cheesecake Filling

  • in a blender or food processor, blend together silken tofu, coconut, maple syrup, lemon juice and zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • add chia seeds and blend, pulse briefly, or just stir in, depending whether you want them fully or partially whole, or blended completely into the cheesecake filling.
  • pour half of the filling into small serving jars, distributing evenly amongst them (you can 2-4 jars depending on the size). set in fridge to chill and firm up (about 10-15 mins)
  • meanwhile, add 1/4 cup of the strawberry compote to the rest of the filling and blend until well incorporated.
  • once the bottom layer of cheesecake is set, pour the strawberry filling into the jars evenly and set again.
  • break/crush digestive biscuits into small chunks or a coarse crumb.
  • when the strawberry layer is set, top jars with compote and biscuit crumble and enjoy!
