Recipe Description

This Classic Vegan Cheesecake is a sublime treat for all dessert lovers, boasting a velvety texture and a rich, creamy flavor that defies its dairy-free nature. Expertly blending the natural richness of cashews with the zest of lemon for a subtle tang, this cheesecake offers a sumptuous taste experience that’s both indulgent and refreshing. Set atop a crumbly, homemade graham cracker base, and finished with a luscious fruit compote, it’s a testament to how plant-based ingredients can create a dessert as delicious, if not more so, than its traditional counterpart. Perfect for any occasion, from casual gatherings to festive celebrations, it ensures that everyone can enjoy a slice of sweet bliss without compromise.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw cashews, soaked overnight
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (gluten-free optional)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup mixed berries, for topping

Steps:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted coconut oil, press into the bottom of a springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
  3. Blend soaked cashews, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Bake for 50 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  6. Top with mixed berries before serving.
