Just wanted to quickly drop by and share this deliciously creamy vegan cheesecake recipe. This is my favorite baked cheesecake, simple to make, simple ingredients. Gluten-free “digestive biscuit” crust and silky filling made of cashews and yogurt. The original recipe is from my new vegan baking book, but because it’s Easter I added more lemon and turmeric to make it super lemony and super yellow. I also decided to give it a fun & festive (and very child friendly 😉 ) look by making cheesecake pie pops.
Of course you can decorate it as you wish or just leave it as it is! This cake is yummy on it’s own and doesn’t need any extras if you ask me. But if you ask my kids – they always want toppings…berries, jam, sprinkles 🙂 If you try this dreamy cake or any of my recipes, please tag @myberryforest and use #myberryforest so I can see your lovely recreations. Thank you!

- [br]
- [b]Filling[/b]
- 3 dl cashews
- 3 dl soy yogurt (I used a natural flavored one)
- 4 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- lemon zest (just a bit)
- 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1/2 + 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- Preheat oven to 200 C / 390 F.
- Let cashews soak in boiling water for about 10 minutes.
- To make the crust, mix dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Add maple syrup and coconut oil and mix until fully combined.
- Press batter into a spring form pan (about 18 cm in diameter), to the bottom and sides a bit.
- Drain and rinse cashews, and add them to a blender with all other filling ingredients.
- Blend until creamy and pour the filling on top of the crust.
- Bake in the oven for about 22 minutes (check after 20 min, if the middle part is still “wobbly”, bake in the oven for another minute or two).
- Let chill for about 30 min before removing cake from the pan.
- Remove the cake carefully and serve with berries, cream or anything you wish. Or let the flavors get really intense and delicious and keep overnight in the fridge.
- Happy Easter & Enjoy 🙂
