Recipe: Classic Vegan Cheesecake

From fightbac.org

Course: Dessert     Servings:  10 servings

Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • cups vegan graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup organic granulated sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 1-3/4 cups raw cashews, soaked in water 4 to 8 hours, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened and unflavoured non-dairy yogurt
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened and unflavoured non-dairy milk, at room temperature
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Optional toppings: chocolate sauce, vegan caramel sauce, dairy-free whipped topping or fresh berries. Gently rub fresh berries under cold running water.


Instructions
 

  • Wash hands with soap and water.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 °F.
  • Stir the graham cracker crumbs, butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a springform pan (7 to 9 inches in diameter).
  • Place the pan into the oven and bake the crust until lightly browned at the edges, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the pan to a cooling rack when done.
  • While the crust bakes and cools, place all ingredients for the filling into a blender or the bowl of a food processor fitted with an s-blade.* Note: If you're not using a high-powered blending device, you may want to start by blending just the cashews and yogurt to a paste, then adding the remaining ingredients and blending again.
  • Blend until smooth.
  • Pour the batter into the crust.
  • Cover and place the entire cheesecake into the refrigerator and chill until the filling has set, which should take about 4 hours.
  • Carefully release the cheesecake from the pan. 
  • Add optional toppings. Slice and serve.
