🌿 Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 ½ cups vegan biscuits or graham crackers, crushed
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil or vegan butter
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
For the cheesecake layer:
- 1 ½ cups raw cashews, soaked 4–6 hours (or boiled 15 minutes)
- ½ cup coconut cream (thick part from a can)
- ¼ cup maple syrup or agave nectar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
For the blueberry topping:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup, to taste
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Make the crust:
Mix crushed biscuits, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup until the texture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
2️⃣ Blend the cheesecake layer:
Add soaked cashews, coconut cream, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla, and melted coconut oil to a blender. Blend until silky smooth. Pour over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or freeze 1 hour for a quick set).
3️⃣ Prepare the blueberry topping:
In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, cornstarch, water, lemon juice, and maple syrup. Cook over medium heat until thickened and glossy. Allow to cool slightly, then spread over the cheesecake.
4️⃣ Chill & serve:
Refrigerate for another hour before serving. Top with fresh blueberries for a beautiful finish!
💡 Tips & Variations
🫐 Use mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries) for variety.
🍋 Add lemon zest for a citrusy twist.
🍰 Make it no-bake by chilling the crust instead of baking it.
✨ Creamy, tangy, and beautifully vibrant — this Vegan Blueberry Cheesecake is pure plant-based perfection! 💙
