Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 200g digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed
  • 100g plant-based butter, melted

Filling

  • 400g plant-based (cheese)
  • 100ml maple syrup (natural) or agave syrup (natural)
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp natural gelling agent, prepared according to package instructions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Crush digestive biscuits or graham crackers until fine crumbs form. Mix crumbs with melted plant-based butter until the mixture holds when pressed. Press evenly into the base of a springform pan or serving dish. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
  2. Whip the Filling: In a large bowl, blend plant-based (cheese), sweetener, lemon juice, vanilla extract (natural), and apple cider vinegar until smooth and creamy. Warm the natural gelling agent gently as per instructions, then incorporate it fully into the filling mixture.
  3. Assemble and Chill: Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the surface with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set firmly.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Carefully release the cheesecake from the pan and transfer to a serving plate. Add desired toppings or garnishes, slice, and serve chilled for optimal texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for the smoothest filling.
  • Do not rush chilling to allow the natural gelling agent to set properly and flavors to meld.
  • Press the crust firmly for a sturdy base that does not crumble when serving.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually by tasting the filling before setting.
  • Making the cheesecake a day ahead improves flavor and texture.
