No Bake Lemon Cheesecake

No-Bake Lemon Cheesecake

This cheesecake is so simple. No baking, no complicated steps and easy-to-find ingredients.

  • It’s important to use tins of full-fat coconut milk because the cream is more likely to set in the tin. To be extra sure, we usually shake the tin before we buy it – if it feels like the cream has already mostly set, then it’s likely to fully separate in the fridge.
  • Opt for gluten-free biscuits to make this recipe gluten-free.

How much grams/cups goes into the cake if you use coconut cream out of a tin?

For us on the other side of the pond, would you also add the conversion from metric to English? The recipies all sound so yummy — thanks in advance.

I also would like to know how much coconut cream is expected to be obtained from the 2 tins as it is possible to buy tinned coconut cream anyway.

I need to make this and leave it for 4 days before it’s eaten. After freezing it for 2 hours, should I leave it it in freezer or put it in the fridge? I’m afraid it will get hard/icy in the freezer or super soft in the fridge.

I too would like to know if I want to make in advance if I can leave in the freezer for a couple of days and then just take out of the freezer maybe an hour or so before eating?

Hi Guys – I made this last night to bring to work to show my colleagues how tasty vegan sweet treats are! They love it and can’t believe it’s vegan. I’ve had a piece and it really is super tasty. Thank you so much! 🙂 x

If I make this today, how many days will it last in the fridge? I have a dinner on Friday and would love to make it for my non-vegan friends.

Ben, So Vegan January 28, 2020 - 11:54 am

Thanks Jenna! This will last only 1-2 days in the fridge, but really should be eaten with a day.

Hi, what can be used instead of cashew nuts for those of us with nut allergies?

Reply
Ben, So Vegan January 28, 2020 - 11:55 am

Hey Helen. Unfortunately you can’t really substitute the cashews in this recipe. However you can make cheesecake using tofu – we just don’t have a recipe for one on our website.

Hi,
I love this recipe I used it several times but I was wondering if we can use something else to replace the lemons? Like Raspberries, Strawberries, Oranges…?

Thanks for this recipe! It was fun to try. Unfortunately it didn’t work for me – I found the texture to be grainy, despite blending for a good while (I’d soak the nuts for longer than an hour next time maybe), and the overall flavour was bland. I’d even added an extra tbsp of maple syrup and an extra tsp of vanilla, but it’s still a little flat. I far prefer the rich, slight sharpness that you get from cheesecakes made from vegan cream cheese, so I’ll stick to those in future. I couldn’t help but notice I was eating a big slice of blended cashew nuts, so it was missing the indulgence that I look for in desserts.
