Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup plant-based milk, warm
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 2 tbsp sugar (divided)
- 3 tbsp vegan butter, softened
Cheesecake Filling Ingredients
- 1 cup plant-based cream cheese
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (natural)
- 1 tsp raspberry flavoring (natural)
- ½ tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Activate the active dry yeast by dissolving it in warm plant-based milk combined with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Once frothy, mix in the all-purpose flour, remaining sugar, and softened vegan butter. Knead until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Whip together the plant-based cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, raspberry flavoring, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and natural gelling agent until creamy but firm enough to hold its shape.
- Shape the Buns: After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it into a large rectangle. Evenly spread the cheesecake filling on top. Roll the dough tightly into a log, then slice into equal-sized buns. Arrange the buns cut side up on a lined baking tray with space to rise further.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the buns until golden brown and fragrant, about 20-25 minutes. Let the buns cool slightly before serving to achieve the ideal soft texture and balanced sweetness.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for even dough rising and smooth filling.
- Proof the yeast to ensure a light and fluffy dough.
- Handle the filling gently to maintain its creamy texture.
- Allow the buns to rise twice for maximum softness and volume.
- Brush with vegan butter immediately after baking for a shiny finish and extra moisture.
