The best vegan cheesecake<\/h3>\n

If you are searching for a plant based cheesecake recipe so good it can hold its own against any non vegan cheesecake, this is the one to try.<\/p>\n

In the past six years, I\u2019ve brought this cheesecake to dozens of events, and every single time it\u2019s received glowing reviews and multiple requests for the recipe.<\/p>\n

In fact, I have yet to serve it at any party where both vegan and non vegan guests have not raved about the cheesy flavor and opulent texture.<\/p>\n

This classic vegan cheesecake is so rich and creamy<\/strong>, no one ever believes it isn\u2019t full of heavy cream and dairy!<\/p>\n

New York style vegan cheesecake recipe<\/h3>\n

As a long time vegan and huge cheesecake lover, I\u2019ve tried way more than my fair share of truly bad dairy free cheesecakes.<\/p>\n

So I know exactly what comes to mind when people think of vegan cheesecake: spongy or chalky texture, unpleasant artificial aftertaste, disappointingly non cheesy flavor, and a cardboard crust.<\/p>\n

Having spent a considerably amount of time growing up in New York City, my standards are exorbitantly high for the perfect baked cheesecake.<\/p>\n

Those same high standards were front and center when I set out to make a vegan version that tasted just as good as the original.<\/p>\n

When creating the recipe, my goal was to make something that tasted so similar to classic New York cheesecake that, if you did not already know it was egg free and vegan, you would never be able to tell.<\/p>\n

I went through a few iterations before arriving at perfection. Then it was time to test it out on a group of non vegans.<\/p>\n

A friend\u2019s potluck birthday brunch presented the ideal opportunity. I packaged the cheesecake up and quietly set it down with all of the other desserts, not mentioning to anyone that it was vegan.<\/p>\n

My hope was that people would like it, but never in a million years did I expect the entire cheesecake to completely disappear within a half hour!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when I knew for sure, this recipe was definitely a keeper.<\/p>\n

Vegan cheesecake flavors<\/h3>\n

Use plant based lemon<\/strong> yogurt and add the zest of two lemons for lemon cheesecake.<\/p>\n

Carefully stir in twelve crushed chocolate sandwich cookies after blending for OREO cookies and cream<\/strong> cheesecake.<\/p>\n

Make a delicious holiday vegan pumpkin cheesecake<\/strong> by replacing half of the yogurt with canned pumpkin puree. Add two teaspoons of ground cinnamon and half a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice.<\/p>\n

Or substitute one cup of the yogurt for softened cookie butter<\/strong>. Top your cookie butter cheesecake with crushed Speculoos cookies or vegan caramel sauce.<\/p>\n

For vegan chocolate cheesecake<\/strong>, increase the sugar to 3\/4 cup and add 3\/4 cup of cocoa powder. Omit the cornstarch, and bake Vegan Brownies<\/a> instead of a crust.<\/p>\n

And have fun decorating the cake with sliced strawberries, bananas, blueberries, Homemade Cherry Pie Filling<\/a>, mini chocolate chips or Chocolate Truffles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Plant based cheesecake ingredients<\/h3>\n

The recipe gives you multiple options for dairy free cream cheese, yogurt, and sugar. Choose brands and ingredients that fit your own taste and dietary preferences.<\/p>\n

Cream cheese \u2013<\/strong> My favorite choices here are Tofutti or Trader Joe\u2019s vegan cream cheese. Miyokos (soy free), or Kite Hill (soy and cashew free) also work.<\/p>\n

If you are feeling adventurous, you can make homemade Vegan Cream Cheese<\/a> with cashews or macadamia nuts instead.<\/p>\n

Yogurt \u2013<\/strong> Any nondairy yogurt is fine, including almondmilk, coconut milk, or soy yogurt. For extra protein, go with vegan Greek yogurt.<\/p>\n

Or change up the flavor by replacing half of the yogurt with mashed banana, softened peanut butter, or pumpkin puree.<\/p>\n

If using vanilla yogurt, cut back on the amount of pure vanilla extract in the recipe.<\/p>\n

Lemon juice \u2013<\/strong> This simple ingredient imparts a delightfully cheesy tang.<\/p>\n

If you do not have any lemons on hand or wish to omit the lemon juice, the finished vegan cheese pie is still quite tasty without lemon.<\/p>\n

Cornstarch \u2013<\/strong> Since this recipe naturally contains no eggs, I use cornstarch as both a thickener and binder.<\/p>\n

For those who want to make cheesecake without cornstarch, swap it for one fourth cup of almond flour or a half cup of your favorite protein powder.<\/p>\n

Sugar \u2013<\/strong> Any all purpose sweetener is fine, including both liquid sweeteners and traditional granulated sugar.<\/p>\n

I like to use unrefined coconut sugar or pure maple syrup or agave.<\/p>\n

For a low carb vegan cheesecake with no sugar added, choose a sugar free substitute like granulated erythritol or xylitol.<\/p>\n
