This recipe for strawberry cheesecake has the classical cheesecake taste and texture and it’s nut-free!
This is the perfect cheesecake for vegans I’ve ever had! The filling becomes rich and creamy with vegan cream cheese. The vegan graham cracker crust adds a great texture and the strawberry topping further increases this vegan dessert’s sweet and tangy balance!
TIPS:
1. The tartness of the strawberries at the top balances the filling’s sweetness so that I’ll never miss this step. You still can substitute multiple kinds of berries for it. It will do well with blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and even mixed berries!
2. Wouldn’t Miss cornstarch and yogurt with vegan! Together, these two act as your substitute “egg”. The pair does an amazing job of binding the ingredients and suspending the moisture, which prevents the denseness of the final result.
3. I strongly propose the use of vegan butter in sticks for the crust because they are made specifically for baking.
4. Keep your vegan cream cheese at room temperature so that mixing in your food processor is easier.
5. This vegan cheesecake is kept for 3 days in the refrigerator and up to 1 month in the freezer, suggesting you have the Incredible discipline not to eat the entire thing in one setting? When you’ve frozen it, please ensure that you cut it into slices.
