• Preheat oven to 350°F
• If using baking rings, wrap the bottom with foil to prevent spilling. Grease baking rings with preferred oil. Then place parchment paper around the baking ring to prevent sticking.
• Place almonds, oats, sugar, and salt in a food processor or high-speed blender. Mix until it has turned into a finer consistency.
• Add in the melted coconut oil, if too dry add a little more coconut oil. Turn on the food processor and mix till the oil has been incorporated into the mixture, about 1 -2 minutes
• Place crust mixture to the bottom of baking rings and evenly smooth the top of the crust. Place in oven for 15 minutes or until it's golden in color. Once cooked let cool and set aside.
• Place vegan cream cheese and maple syrup in a large bowl. Add more to your taste. Mix well with a hand-mixer or stand mixer, about 1-2 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix till all ingredients are incorporated, 2 -3 minutes
• Divide the mixture evenly into 6 bowls, you can use a kitchen scale to make this an easier process. Place the powdered food colors into 4 different bowls. You'll have more white mixture. Mix well until you get the desired color intensity. Then place each color in separate piping bags.
• Pipe mixture into baking rings alternating colors with each layer. Once each ring is filled with cream cheese mixture place in the oven for 30 -35 minutes or until there is slight jiggle when you shake it.
• Cool cheesecakes completely. Once cooled place in refrigerator for 4 hours.
• Optional homemade vegan fondant. To save time you can also purchase premade vegan fondant. Satin Ice is a brand that makes great vegan fondant. Decorate with hearts and characters using vegan fondant and natural food coloring. Serve cold and enjoy!

• Mix the gluten-free flour, rice flour, and glutinous rice flour in a bowl. Place the white bean paste in a separate large bowl.
• Sift the mixed flours over the bean paste. Mix the paste and flours together until it's all incorpated.
• Boil water in a large pot with a steam basket and place parchment paper on top of the basket. Make fondant dough into small flat round lumps, like thick pancake shape, about 3 inches in diameter. You'll make about 5-6 pieces.
• Place each fondant dough into the steam basket and steam for 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it sit for another 5 minutes.
• Once slightly cooled knead the fondant dough. You can now add natural food coloring to this dough in your choice of colors. Make sure to cover this fondant dough with plastic wrap or wet cloth as it will dry easily in the air. It will also harden if placed in the fridge so I recommend placing these decorations right before serving.
