Oreo Cheesecake
Soy yoghurt makes the perfect replacement for cream cheese in this vegan Oreo cheesecake recipe as it gives it that slightly tart flavour you’d expect from a good baked cheesecake.
You’ll need to strain the yoghurt overnight before making this so be sure to start the day before you plan to eat this luscious dessert.
