HOW TO MAKE VEGAN TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Wrap the outside with aluminum foil. 
2. Prepare Oreo Crust & Parbake: Crush about 20 Oreos into crumbs in a food processor. Add melted butter and mix for about a minute, then press into the prepared 9-inch springform pan. Prebake your crust in the oven at 350 degrees F for 5-7 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
3. Prepare Cheesecake Filling: Melt dairy-free chocolate in a microwaveable bowl in 30-second intervals for 1 minute or until smooth. Set aside and allow to cool. Then using a mixer, whip the room temperature cream cheese for about 3 minutes or until smooth. While continuing mixing, slowly add the granulated sugar. Then add the cocoa powder and cornstarch/tapioca/arrowroot and continue mixing on low. Add the liquid ingredients: dairy-free milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, and mix until combined. Pour in the previously melted and cooled chocolate. Continue mixing for about 2-3 more minutes. The mixture will be very creamy and smooth. If you have any lumps of chocolate that form, this is ok; it will all bake out evenly. 
4. Bake Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared and prebaked crust. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 40-45 minutes. The center will still be jiggly. Turn the oven off and let cheesecake sit inside the oven for another 10 minutes. Remove from oven.
5. Cool & Refrigerate: Cool cheesecake entirely at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4-5 hours or overnight for the cheesecake to set.
6. Top with chocolate ganache. Heat 3/4 cup of dairy-free heavy whipping cream in the microwave for 1 minute. Pour over dairy-free dark chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth and allow to cool. Pour and smooth out over refrigerated cheesecake. Place the cheesecake back in the fridge for another 30 minutes for the ganache to fully set.
