You're going to LOVE this easy and tasty Vegan Cheesecake. The creamy no-bake vanilla dairy-free cheesecake is smooth, rich and delicious. I've topped it with a simple quick berry sauce.

Instructions
- Spray an 8” inch round springform pan with non-stick cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Note: cashews need to be prepared in advance, either by soaking overnight, or adding to a pan of water, bring to the boil, cover and set aside for 20 minutes, then drain.
For the crust
- Add the crushed cookies, melted coconut oil, sugar and vanilla to a medium bowl. Stir well until combined and the consistency of damp sand.
- Press evenly and firmly into the base of the prepared pan and smooth with the back of a spoon. Place into the freezer to chill while preparing the filling.
For the vegan cheesecake filling
- Add the drained soaked cashews and all other filling ingredients to a blender and blend until it’s really smooth. You’ll probably need to stop occasionally and scrape the sides down. Pour it over the crust, smooth it out with the back of a spoon and place in the freezer until set: 4-6 hours.
For the berry topping:
- Add the raspberries, sugar, lemon juice and water to a pot, stir and bring to the boil. Allow it to boil for about 5 minutes, stirring often to stop it from scorching.
- Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer and bubble for 7minutes. It will thicken further as it cools. Set aside to cool before spooning onto the vegan cheesecake.
To serve
- You can serve the cheesecake frozen, or let it thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
- Store in the freezer for up to 3 months
Notes
- Calculated time doesn't include time in the freezer
- Crush the cookies by hand or in a food processor
- Check the cookies are vegan. Some graham cracker brands have honey, but Nabisco should be vegan. Many gingersnaps (gingernuts) are vegan and add a nice gingery flavor.
- If you only have a 7” or 9” springform pan, it will still work. The cheesecake will just be thicker or thinner.
