Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 150g digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed
  • 75g plant-based butter or margarine, melted

Filling

  • 400g creamy (plant-based) cheese
  • 100g granulated sugar or natural sweetener
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1.5 tsp natural gelling agent

Toppings (optional)

  • Fresh fruits (e.g., strawberries, kiwi, blueberries)
  • Fruit compote or coulis
  • Grated chocolate or nuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Crush the digestive biscuits or graham crackers into fine crumbs. Combine the crumbs with melted plant-based butter in a bowl until the mixture is evenly coated and crumbly. Press the mixture firmly into the base of your chosen pan to form an even layer. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
  2. Mix the Filling Ingredients: In a large bowl, blend creamy (plant-based) cheese with granulated sugar or natural sweetener and vanilla extract (natural). Add freshly squeezed lemon juice for brightness. Gradually sprinkle in the natural gelling agent while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Continue mixing until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
  3. Combine and Chill: Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top to prepare it for setting. Cover the pan with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firm and ready to slice.
  4. Add Toppings and Serve: Once set, decorate the cheesecake with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, fruit compote, or grated chocolate. Slice carefully and serve chilled for the best experience.

Notes

  • Chill time is crucial for proper setting and optimal texture.
  • Use room temperature ingredients to avoid lumps and improve smoothness.
  • Add the natural gelling agent gradually and stir well to prevent clumping.
  • Press the crust firmly to help it hold together when slicing.
  • Feel free to experiment with spices, extracts (natural), or fruit purées to personalize your cheesecake.
