Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup Nafsika’s Garden vegan cream cheese style
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp tapioca starch
- 1/3 cup oat milk
- 2 lemons, zested and juiced
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup crushed cookies
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Zest one lemon in a small bowl and set aside.
- Cut the lemons in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out the flesh, leaving the peel to form a cup. Press the flesh through a strainer to extract the juice.
- In a blender, combine the cream cheese, sugar, tapioca starch, oat milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and set aside.
- Pour the lemon cream cheese mixture into the hollowed-out lemon shells, filling almost to the top while leaving space for the cookie crumble. If you have extra filling, pour it into small ramekins or a baking dish. Note that a larger dish may require additional baking time.
- In a small bowl, mix the crushed cookies with melted coconut oil until the crumbs begin to clump together. Spoon 2-3 teaspoons of the crumble on top of the lemon cream cheese filling.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes. Allow to cool completely, then place in the fridge overnight to fully set.
