Grapefruit Vegan Cheesecake with Shortbread Crust

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325ºF. Line the bottom of a 10- or 12-inch round springform pan with parchment paper, then grease lightly. Set aside.

Step 2

To make the crust: In a small bowl, stir together the flour, coconut oil, and powdered sugar until the dough comes together. Press into the bottom of the greased pan and bake for 7-9 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. You don’t want to over bake the crust, or it will become too hard after you add the filling. Set aside.

Step 3

To make the filling: Combine all of the filling ingredients in a high powered blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour the filling into the prepared pan with crust.

Step 4

Bake for 1 hour, or until the filling does not jiggle with shaken. Chill for at least an hour before serving.
