Expert Tips

  • Blend crust ingredients until nuts and dates are ground up.  The mixture will be crumbly and sticky. 
  • Soaked cashews should be softened.  Wash, rinse and pat them dry before adding to blender.
  • Blend cheesecake filling until smooth and creamy.  I blend for about 15 seconds, then stop and scrape down the sides of the blender. Continue until smooth.
  • If using frozen mango, thaw before using.  Squeeze out any excess water.  Alternatively, microwave frozen mango until room temperature (not warm) before use.
  • Freeze Vegan mango cheesecake until completely firm.
  • If cheesecake is too firm to cut through, allow it to sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
  • This can be made in a 6 inch cheesecake pan for a taller result.  Freeze for at least 4 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is Vegan cheesecake made of?

Vegan cheesecake is typically made with soaked cashews. Soaking the cashews yields a creamy cheesecake. In addition, some are made with Vegan cream cheese.

Can I freeze Vegan cheesecake?

Yes, this Vegan cheesecake can be frozen and stored in the freezer. Thaw at room temperature or in the fridge until it can be sliced through.

Why is this made with cashews?

When soaked and blended, cashews are very creamy. In this case, they replace the typical cream cheese.

How do I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in the freezer. If eating the next day, cheesecake can be stored in the fridge overnight.

What is coconut cream?

Coconut cream is a very thick coconut milk like substance. It is actually made from the simmering of coconut shreds and water.

Is Vegan cheesecake made with raw cashews or roasted cashews?

I have tried Vegan cheesecake with both raw and roasted cashews and had success! Use whatever you have on hand. I do NOT suggest using salted cashews (or any flavored cashews).

Notes

  • Blend crust ingredients until nuts are ground up.  The mixture will be sticky.  See photo above for texture.

  • Blend cheesecake filling until smooth and creamy.  I blend for about 15 seconds, stop and scrape down the sides of the blender and then blend again.
  • If using frozen mango, thaw before using.  Squeeze out any excess liquid.  Alternatively, microwave frozen mango until room temperature before using.
  • Freeze until completely firm.
  • If cheesecake is too firm to cut through, allow it to sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
