Vegan Cheesecake

Cultural Context

Vegan cheesecake is a modern twist on traditional cheesecake, catering to those who avoid dairy and animal products. It often features a creamy filling made from blended nuts or tofu, sweetened naturally, and set in a crust made from nuts or oats. This dessert has gained popularity in recent years as plant-based diets have become more mainstream, appealing to both vegans and non-vegans alike.

6 servings
Servings4
300 g vegan biscuits (you can use GF biscuits if needed)
100 ml coconut oil

1 cup vegan milk (I used vanilla-flavored soy milk by Joya)
2 cups vegan yogurt (without flavor or vanilla flavored, I used natural soy yogurt by Joya)
4 Tbsps brown sugar
3 Tbsps psyllium husks
1/2 cup flour
2 tsps vanilla extract
homemade apricot jam (you can use any other type of jam you want)

coconut cream

Silken tofu provides a creamy texture with fewer calories.

maple syrup

🥗Healthier: agave nectar

Agave nectar is a lower-glycemic sweetener.

coconut oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is a versatile and cost-effective substitute.

nut crust
