Easy Strawberry Cheesecake Tarts for 2 with gluten-free Coconut oat crust. Vegan Gluten-free Recipe.
So I was thinking of making something spectacular, or vegan-izing some difficult to make vegan dishes. I tried a few times to make a vanilla souffle. It never really came out to be a souffle. but it was darn delicious. One of the results almost like a moist pound cake. ha!
I thought of pots de creme. The cream and egg filled baked up in a bath custardy thingamajig. Well, the filling of the cheesecakes will work as is for that. Just blend up, let it chill and serve. 🙂
I baked up this berry creamy filling into two 4.5 inch tarts. The smaller tarts are much easier to handle and the cheesecake filling does not need to bake for hours and is more forgiving. The tart crust and filling both can be made oil-free. The whole tart with the crust and the filling can be served up as is without baking as well. Omit the cornstarch and let it chill. Top with strawberries and other fruit and serve. The crust is a simple coconut oat crust with maple. Use any crust of choice like graham cracker crumbs and oil or a ginger snap crumb crust.
I baked the tarts to get the gorgeous purple color and a delicious treat for today. Well we actually ate both the tarts yesterday, so I might have to make something today. or pick up an awesome boston cream cake from Violet Sweet Shoppe in Seattle. I got one for a dinner last Monday. Gosh that cake was soo amazing!

Hi Richa, first let me say that I just got your second book, love it!!! I have a question, Im allergic to cashews, what can I use instead? thank you.
Richa
Awesome! Thanks for getting the book! Are you ok with almonds? then a combination of smooth almond butter, almond yogurt and vegan cream cheese will work
Richa
Also see the almond butter cheesecake in the book
Dee
Thank you so much Richa. Yes, Im good with almonds. hmm, Im gonna have to try that almond butter cheesecake 😉
Coulinjo
Is there anything I could use instead of cashew or is it those tha give it the creaminess? Almonds? Pistachios?
Richa
pistachio should work, the color will be totally different though
Coulinjo
Thanks. I did go to shops and get cashews though and the trouble I’m having now is getting enough out of the blender and into the cases – I just want to eat it all off the spoon!!! I think I’d better get it in to the oven quickly :/

I am so intrigued by the quest to reproduce hard-to-make dairy items in a clean, vegan version! I loooove custards, flans, cream filling, pudding, etc, but won’t eat the real thing. I love using almond milk and have had some good successes with coconut milk. I am still learning, and am inspired to try to recreate some of the recipes from “The Great British Bake Off”, in a vegan version. I’m going to try this cheesecake too, it looks delicious! I will keep watching for more experiments with soufflees, custards, etc. We can do it! 🙂

Larissa Burgess
Oh my goodness these looks delicious, I love tofu in desserts. I do try to avoid coconut though because I find it makes my throat a little itchy. Do you think you could just use all oat flour?
Richa
you can add a Tablespoon or so almond flour to add more texture and the rest as oat flour. also add a pinch of favorite spices or zest. Just Oat flour might taste too earthy 🙂
Larissa Burgess
awesome thanks 🙂
Rekha Vengalil
Looks really delicious 🙂

Vegan recipes have the best of both worlds – delicious and healthy. They have something in them that makes them a favorite. You can also give a try with the Swami Mami Tea because it is effective in detoxifying our body.

i wasnt a cheesecake lover in my pregan days. it would just be too heavy and stale most of the time. fresh home made no dairy version is far far better and i love it 🙂
