Vegan vanilla cheesecake
- Preparation and cooking time
- Prep:
- plus chilling
- Easy
- Serves 8 - 10
Ingredients
- 100g coconut oil, melted, plus extra for the tin
- 300g vegan digestive biscuits
- 800g vegan soft cheese
- 175g soft light brown sugar
- 100g vegan vanilla yogurt alternative
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 100g mixed berries, to serve
Method
- STEP 1
Oil the sides of a 23cm loose-bottomed cake tin and line the base with baking paper. Whizz the biscuits in a food processor to fine crumbs, then mix with the melted coconut oil. Press the crumbs into the prepared tin using the back of a spoon, then chill while you make the filling.
- STEP 2
Put the soft cheese in a large bowl and briefly whisk using an electric mixer to just loosen, then whisk in the sugar until smooth. Combine the yogurt, vanilla bean paste and cornflour in a small bowl, then pour this into the soft cheese mixture and whisk again to combine until smooth.
- STEP 3
Pour the mixture over the chilled biscuit base and smooth the surface using a spatula. Chill for 6 hrs until set. Once set, run a cutlery knife that has been warmed under hot running water around the side of the cheesecake to loosen it from the tin. Top with the berries, then slice to serve.
