Substitutions
Vegan Butter: Melt Organics is my go-to for salted vegan butter sticks. These melt really well for this recipe! You can swap in with your favorite brand of vegan butter (make sure it’s salted, or add a pinch of salt into the melted butter, if it’s not).
Chocolate Chips: Use vegan semisweet chocolate chips, chunks or a chopped chocolate bar. Make sure there’s no milk or milk powder added to the chocolate (so it’s vegan). Swap in with dark chocolate, which will be a bit more bitter (60-70% dark chocolate would be okay, anything more might be too dark).
Vegan Cream Cheese: Choose your favorite brand of vegan cream cheese. Brands like Violife or Kite Hill work well and will give your cheesecakes a rich, creamy texture without compromising flavor.
Vegan Cool Whip: This is not aerosol whip, but rather frozen whipped cream. I used So Delicious brand of CocoWhip, which made the filling light and airy. You can use your favorite brand of frozen vegan whipped cream, or coconut cream which can be found in a can.
Although coconut cream is very rich and will lend a creamy texture, it has an underlying coconut flavor, which some people will find stronger than others.
Agave Nectar: Use pure maple syrup instead of agave nectar.
Oat Milk: Swap in your favorite neutral plant-based milk, such as cashew milk or soy milk.
No Bake Mint Oreo Cheesecakes Recipe Notes
- To make it easier to lift the cheesecakes out, use mini muffin liners or grease the pan with a neutral oil, such as refined coconut oil (which doesn’t smell or taste like coconuts) or avocado oil.
