This Churro Cheesecake features a creamy plant-based cheese filling with warm cinnamon flavor and a crispy cinnamon sugar-coated crust. It’s a delightful dessert perfect for sharing, balancing sweet spice and smooth texture with allergy-friendly, simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups ground nuts or crushed plant-based cookies
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter
  • 3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar mixture

Filling

  • 2 cups plant-based cheese
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons natural gelling agent

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Mix ground nuts or crushed plant-based cookies with plant-based butter and the cinnamon sugar mixture. Press this firmly into the base of a springform pan to create a crispy, spicy crust.
  2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine plant-based cheese, maple syrup (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and apple cider vinegar. Whip until silky smooth. Gently fold in the natural gelling agent to help set the filling.
  3. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Lightly sprinkle additional cinnamon sugar over the surface for extra texture and spice.
  4. Chill and Set: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or until firm to allow the natural gelling agent to set the filling perfectly.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the cheesecake from the pan carefully. Slice with a warm knife for clean cuts and serve with desired garnishes or accompaniments.

Notes

  • Use room temperature plant-based cheese for a smooth, lump-free filling.
  • Press the crust mixture firmly to prevent crumbling when slicing.
  • Refrigerate long enough to ensure the cheesecake sets well.
  • Warm the knife between slices for neat presentation.
  • Adjust cinnamon sugar ratio to customize sweetness and spice balance.
