One of the local vegan bakeries where I had first tried a baked vegan cheesecake, closed some years ago. I was hoping another one would crop up near downtown, but that did not happen. The nearest cheesecake is now some 7 miles away (with traffic back ups en route pretty much all the time), or some frozen options from the the grocery store, that aren’t a favorite.

So I make my own individual portions around the holidays. Quick and easy. I like raw cheesecakes as well, but they are a bit different. These cheesecakes have a simple oat almond crust filled with cashew non dairy yogurt filling that bakes to a perfect tang, smooth and creamy cheesecake. Make these and hide the second tart for yourself for later! Takes just 20 minutes to put together. Serve with vegan ice cream or whipped non dairy cream.

Ingredients 
 

Oat Crust:

  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1.5 tbsp almond flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt, scant
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp oil
  • 1.5 Tbsp or more maple syrup

Filling:

  • 1/2 cup non dairy yogurt, I use kite hill almond plain yogurt
  • 1/3 cup soaked cashews, soaked for atleast 15 mins in hot water
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 to 3 tsp lime juice or lemon juice
  • 2.5 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 to 2 tbsp sugar or sweetener

Instructions 

Make the crust:

  • Add oat flour, almond flour, salt, cinnamon and oil to a bowl and mix well.
  • Add 1 tbsp maple syrup and mix in. Add more maple syrup about a 1/2 tsp at a time and mix to make a soft dough.
  • Press the dough into 2 tart pans or other 4.5 inch pans. (or 4 greased and bottom lined muffin pans)

Make the cheesecake filling:

  • Blend all the ingredients until well blended. Taste and adjust sweet and tang and blend again.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared crust.
  • Bake a 350 degrees F / 180ยบc for 40 to 45 minutes. Let it sit in the oven for another 10 minutes. Then cool on the counter for a few minutes. Refrigerate for atleast an hour before serving. Serve with whipped coconut cream or vegan vanilla ice cream

Notes

To double: Double the crust ingredients. Add maple syrup a 1 tbsp at a time to make a dough and use.
For the filling, use 3/4 cup non dairy yogurt and 3/4 cup soaked cashews.
For easy blending, soak the cashews for atleast 4 hours.

      Yes, absolutely!

  5. Maria Eduarda de Souza Sodini says:

    Hi! Can I substitute the cashews for anything else? Iโ€™m trying to watch my weight and theyโ€™re a little bit high in calories =( I know it sounds weird but could u tell me if I could just make the recipe without it?

    1. Richa says:

      you can use silken tofu instead. you will need to add additional thickener ,1 tbsp more starch

  6. Chandni says:

    Hi Richa! This cheesecake looks really good! I wanted to try a different variation and make a mango cheesecake. Do you think I would be able to mix in mango puree in to this cashew mixture without disrupting the texture of the original cheesecake? Would appreciate it. Thanks!

    1. Richa says:

      Yes, use thick concentrated mango puree. About a third cup.

      1. Chandni says:

        Ok Thank You! I’m using this cheesecake recipe for your tiramisu cheesecake brownies. Would the measurements for the filling used in this recipe be sufficient for the tiramisu cheesecake brownies? Or would I need to double it? Thank You!

        1. Richa says:

          this should be enough

    Can vegan cream cheese substitute vegan yogurt? Thanks.

    1. Richa says:

      Yes you can. Some cream cheeses have bunch of additives that can taste a bit off on baking, so a combination of vegan ream cheese and yogurt would work better. Cream cheeses like kit ehill almond is really good to use in cheesecakes. you can use all of that type

  8. ThuThao says:

    1. Richa says:

      More soaked cashews
