Hi every one!

Today's recipe is a vegan classic: You don't need any animal ingredients for a delicious and super creamy New York cheesecake. The results convinced even non-vegetarians!

taste and occasion

You will find many different cheesecake recipes on my website, e.gmuffinand other healthier things likeLow Carb Cheesecake. Today's recipe is very closeclassic: A vegan cheesecake made without tofu, cashews or similar special ingredients.

Of course, a classic cheesecake is always a treat, but this vegan cheesecake certainly doesn't need to hide. It's like the original New York cheesecake: a crisp, buttery cake base and a deliciously rich, dense cream.

There's nothing fluffy about it, but that's not what a vegan cheesecake should be. While some say eat only a small piece, I see it differently: cheesecake without eggs, cream cheese and curd is so good, you have to eat more 😉... The ingredients and preparation are not unique.

Raw material

For a cheesecake to be vegan, neither butter nor dairy products may be used as toppings. You don't need any special ingredients though -- I bake a vegan New York cheesecake with a simple crust and plant-based alternatives. One is margarine, vegan butter or coconut oil. The other is vegan yogurt or similar "curd/cream cheese" that does not contain animal ingredients. You can find these substitutes in all supermarkets these days.

Graham crackers or crackers work best as a base, both for appearance and taste. Of course, other vegan cookies work just as well. Of course: "healthy" means less fat, fewer calories, more natural or less sugar, and that's not the result. But happiness can also just be happiness, right? For example, if you want to please your guests or colleagues (some of whom are (only) vegan), then this vegan cheesecake recipe is for you. All taste great. I promise!

How to make a vegan New York Cheesecake

Let's start with this amazing vegetarian recipe. First, the biscuits are ground or crumbled and mixed with liquid margarine. Cook the dough in a steamer. You do this by covering the bottom of the mold (20-22 cm) with baking paper, which must be tightly closed and the edges greased. Also "wrap" the mold completely with aluminum foil. Now preheat the oven to 340°F/170°C and press the cookie crumbs evenly into the bottom of the pan.

Then mix the sugar and cream powder together for the topping and beat in the vegan curd until smooth. Add all other ingredients as well. Spread the cream on the base and smooth it out. Fill a deep roasting pan, large roasting pan or roasting pan with hot water (no more than two-thirds of the height of the springform pan). Then place it on an oven rack. Put the cake in a springform pan with water and cook for about 50 minutes. Cover the cake after 40 minutes so that it does not become too dark. The cream will harden as it cools. Turn off the oven. Leave the oven door ajar (e.g. with a wooden spoon) after baking and let the cheesecake rest for another 30 minutes.

Finally, carefully remove the pan from the water bath and make sure to refrigerate the cake for a few hours before cutting, preferably overnight.

better advice

The stability of the cake is due to the cream powder or cornstarch and the long cooling time. Whether you're baking vegan or regular cheesecake: you need to cook it in a steamer.
