Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 8 oz Vegan Cream Cheese Brands like Tofutti or Kite Hill recommended.
  • 1 cup Plant-Based Yogurt Greek-style for best thickness.
  • 1 tbsp Pure Vanilla Extract Vanilla bean paste can be used for richer flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Cornstarch Almond flour can be a keto-friendly substitution.
  • 1/2 cup Sugar Coconut sugar keeps it unrefined; maple syrup or xylitol can be alternatives.
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice Optional for less acidity.
Crust
  • 1 package Pie Crust Homemade vegan graham cracker crust or store-bought.

Equipment

  • 9-inch Springform Pan
  • mixing bowl

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place a pan of water on the lower rack to create steam.
  2. Prepare a 9-inch springform pan with your desired crust, ensuring it’s even.
  3. Let the vegan cream cheese soften for about 15 minutes. Blend it with yogurt, vanilla extract, cornstarch, sugar, and lemon juice until smooth.
  4. Pour the filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top and ensuring no air bubbles remain.
  5. Bake for approximately 30 minutes, keeping the oven door closed.
  6. After baking, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 5 minutes.
  7. Transfer the cheesecake to the counter, allowing it to cool for at least 20 minutes before refrigerating.
  8. Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, ideally overnight, before serving.
