Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 cup Vegan Cream Cheese Use Tofutti, Trader Joe's, Miyokos, or Kite Hill for the best flavor.
  • 1 cup Plant-Based Yogurt Any non-dairy yogurt like almond or coconut works; consider vegan Greek yogurt for extra protein.
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract Choose pure over imitation for the richest taste.
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch Substitute with almond flour or protein powder if you prefer.
  • 1/2 cup Sugar (or Pure Maple Syrup) For a sugar-free version, you can use Xylitol instead.
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice (optional) The cheesecake remains delicious even without it.
For the Crust
  • 1 whole Pie Crust You can use a homemade graham cracker crust or a store-bought option.

Equipment

  • Blender or food processor
  • springform pan
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a water bath by placing a baking pan filled with water on the lower rack.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cookie crumbs with melted vegan butter and press mixture into the bottom of a springform pan.
  3. Let vegan cream cheese sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. In a blender, combine cream cheese, plant-based yogurt, vanilla extract, cornstarch, sugar, and optional lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Bake for 30 minutes.
  5. Turn off the oven after 30 minutes but leave the cheesecake inside for an additional 5 minutes to cool gradually. Transfer to a wire rack and cool for about 20 minutes before refrigerating for at least 4 hours.
  6. Remove the sides of the springform pan, slice, and enjoy your creamy vegan cheesecake with your favorite toppings.
