Instructions

Line an 8×8 inch square cake tin with greaseproof paper.
Melt the dairy-free butter over low heat and pour into a mixing bowl.
Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and mix with the melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the lined tin.
Drain the soaked cashew nuts and blend with dairy-free cream cheese, icing sugar, coconut cream, mint extract, and a drop of green food gel until smooth. Pour over the biscuit base and tap to remove air bubbles. Refrigerate overnight to set.
Remove the cheesecake from the tin and cut into bars.
Melt the white chocolate and pipe small circles for eyes on a lined tray. Freeze for 10 minutes.
Melt the dark chocolate with a drop of black food gel. Pipe pupils onto the white chocolate circles and add facial details on the bars, like hair, scars, and mouths.
Break pretzel sticks, brush lightly with water, dust with edible silver glitter, and attach as Frankenstein’s bolts. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Use gluten-free cookies for a fully gluten-free dessert.

Swap mint extract for chocolate, orange, or vanilla flavoring.

Add a layer of fruit puree or jam between the base and filling.

Experiment with different decoration styles: candy eyes, sprinkles, or colored chocolate.
