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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
