Ingredients

Scale

Crust Base

  • 150g crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers
  • 75g melted plant-based butter

Filling

  • 400g creamy (plant-based) cheese
  • 100g sugar or natural sweetener
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp natural gelling agent dissolved in warm water or grape juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Crush digestive biscuits or graham crackers into fine crumbs. Gently fold in melted plant-based butter until crumbs are evenly coated. Press firmly into the base of your serving pan creating an even layer. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, blend creamy (plant-based) cheese, sugar or natural sweetener, and vanilla extract (natural) until silky smooth. Add lemon juice and mix fully to combine flavors.
  3. Add the Natural Gelling Agent: Dissolve the natural gelling agent in warm water or grape juice until smooth. Quickly fold into the cheesecake filling ensuring thorough incorporation for proper setting.
  4. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the creamy filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or overnight for best results.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, slice using a warm knife for clean cuts. Garnish as desired and enjoy your creamy no-bake cheesecake.

Notes

  • Chill ingredients first to help the filling firm up nicely.
  • Press crust firmly to avoid crumbling when sliced.
  • Use a warm knife warmed under hot water and dried for clean cheesecake slices.
  • Allow adequate chilling time for the natural gelling agent to set the filling properly.
  • Add toppings like fresh fruits or nuts just before serving to keep them fresh.
