Prepare a 7"x 3" cake pan with pan grease & parchment paper liner & preheat the oven to 350°F
Make the crust by crushing the cookies in a food processor then add the melted vegan butter
Press it into the prepared cake pan then freeze while you prepare the cheesecake batter
Place all cheesecake ingredients (except the remaining cookies) into a food processor & process until smooth. Add green color if you wish
Fold in the crushed cookies
Pour batter into prepared pan & bake in a water bath in the preheated 350°F oven but I like to turn the temperature down to 335℉ immediately after loading, then bake for 45 minutes - 1 hour
Turn the oven off & leave the cheesecake inside for another hour to cool slowly.
Remove from the oven, cool on the counter then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight
