Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 450g plant-based cream cheese
- 200ml plant-based heavy cream
- 150g granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 20g all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
- 1 tsp natural vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Loaf Pan: Line your loaf pan thoroughly with parchment paper, making sure to leave some overhang on the sides for easy removal after baking.
- Mix Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a large bowl, combine the plant-based cream cheese with granulated sugar and beat together until smooth and creamy, without lumps.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Crack the eggs into the bowl one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the natural vanilla extract.
- Incorporate Flour and Cream: Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour and gently fold it in along with the plant-based heavy cream until the batter is thick but pourable.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake at a high temperature (around 210°C / 410°F) for 50-60 minutes, encouraging a deeply caramelized top and creamy center.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cheesecake to cool completely in the pan, then carefully lift it out using the parchment paper edges. Chill for at least 2 hours to set fully before slicing.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
- Ensure the burnt top is deeply browned but not bitter.
- Line the pan well with parchment paper to preserve shape and ease removal.
- Chill the cheesecake to firm up flavors and texture; it’s even better the next day.
- Check your oven early as baking times may vary.
