This vegan biscoff cheesecake recipe is simple&nbsp;to make.&nbsp;Making a vegan version of a biscoff&nbsp;cheesecake is easy if you use the coconut based cream cheeses.&nbsp;I use Violife, it’s perfect and sets well with the biscoff so NO other ingredients except a little sugar are needed to give you a perfect cheesecake!
To make mini cheesecakes:-
You can also make mini versions too, simply spoon the cheesecake base into loose bottomed cupcake, mini cake tin or individual ramekins and layer the filling and topping on top as per the recipe. If you don't have a loose bottomed tin you can use a cupcake baking tin and before filling with the cheesecake biscuit base put a thin 1cm strip of parchment paper inside the cupcake case (allow some of the paper to overhang the sides) When the cheesecake has chilled, you can run a knife around the edges and lift the paper strips to gently release your mini cheesecakes.&nbsp;

Marshmallow Fluff is made from beaten egg whites, sugar, golden syrup, vanilla extract and a tiny pinch of salt. We love marshmallow fluff because it goes really well with cookies and pretzels or as a topping for desserts. If you really want to push the boat out (we do...) &nbsp;you could even have it on top of a luxury hot chocolate for that perfect 'ahhhhh' moment. This stuff is sticky, so make sure you have a cloth and some hot soapy water on standby for clear up time.

We say have your bread, and eat it - our vegan hot cross buns have all the flavour of traditional hot cross buns and they're and completely vegan. Whilst hot cross buns are traditionally made around Easter time, these delicious vegan hot cross buns are so simple to make, they'll soon be a staple in your recipe book.
Fluffy in texture and gloriously glossy thanks to their sticky orange juice sugar glaze, these hot cross buns are perfectly balanced with flavour and pack a punch of zesty mixed peel - the ultimate cosy evening supper, or a cuppa companion.
We've added a handful of Vegan Dark Chocolate to this recipe, so simply swap out the sultanas for your left over Easter eggs, or some juicy raisins.
<h3>Why aren't traditional hot cross buns vegan?</h3>
Traditional hot cross bun recipes often contain milk, butter and egg, so they're not suitable for vegans or people who have a dairy intolerance.
