- In a blender or food processor, mix the softened vegan cream cheese, until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the dairy-free yogurt, coconut milk, lemon juice, vanilla, sugar, corn starch, and flour, and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Remove the crust from the freezer, and pour the cheesecake mixture into the crust.
- Place the cheesecake in the oven, at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes.
- Turn the oven heat down to 325 degrees F, and bake an additional 45 minutes. Don't open the oven door!

- Cover the cheesecake with waxed paper and foil, and place in the refrigerator overnight. This allows the cheesecake to set.
