Key Lime Cheesecake (vegan)Vegan No-Bake Lemon CheesecakeVegan Chocolate Cheesecake

Step 1

Step 1 Crust: Pulse the biscuits in a food processor until they are completely crushed. Add the melted butter and salt and process until well combined.

Step 2

Step 2 Place a circular disk of parchment in the bottom of the cake tin to help get the cheesecake out later. Place the crumbs into the cake tin and spread evenly. Use a cup and baking parchment to flatten it down. Chill in the freezer, covered, for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Step 3 Cheesecake filling: Remove the silken tofu from the package and dry off any excess water with a towel. Add this to the food processor with the cream cheese, lime zest, vanilla and salt. I like to warm my cream cheese in the microwave to make the mixture softer and therefore easier to handle.

Step 4

Step 4 Combine the cornstarch with the icing sugar in a small bowl and whisk until incorporated. Add this to a pot on the stove with the coconut cream and lime juice. Turn on a low-heat and whisk the ingredients together until completely smooth.

Step 5

Step 5 Keep stirring the mixture while it heats up to prevent the cornstarch from clumping. Eventually it will begin to steam and the mixture should start to thicken. Continue to stir until the mixture is thick like custard and then pour this directly into the food processor with the other ingredients.

Step 6

Step 6 Pulse a few times until it is completely homogenous. Take the crust out of the freezer and pour the mixture on top of it and leave it to set for at least 12 hours. Cornstarch takes a while to fully thicken so it’s best left overnight.

Step 7

Step 7 Jelly Layer: Mix together the sugar, cornstarch and the agar powder in a small bowl. Add a few tablespoons of the water and stir until the dry mix has dissolved.

Step 8

Step 8 Pour this into a pan with the rest of the water, the lime juice and a drop of green colouring. Turn the heat up to medium-low and bring to a simmer, stirring continuously. Allow to simmer for 1 minute. The agar will only set once you reach boiling point so make sure it gets there.

Step 9

Step 9 Take it off the heat and wait 10 minutes for it to cool slightly.

Step 10

Step 10 Gently pour the jelly onto the set cheesecake layer. Chill for at least 1 hour then serve!
