Creamy, light and zesty, this vegan no-bake lemon cheesecake is a staple in the So Vegan household!

Serves: Makes 1 large cheesecake Prep Time: 1 hour Cooking Time: 2 hours
Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat

Ingredients

No-Bake Lemon Cheesecake

  • 300g vegan biscuits
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil, melted

  • 75ml maple syrup

  • Pinch of salt
So Vegan In 5

Instructions

  1. Place the 2 tins of coconut milk in the fridge to set the cream. This can take between an hour and three hours depending on much fat is in the coconut milk.
  2. Soak the cashews in hot water for 1 hour.
  3. Process the vegan biscuits and coconut oil in a food processor until fine. Then transfer to a cake tin and press down with a glass for an even and firm base. Leave the cake tin to one side.
  4. Remove the coconut tins from the fridge and scoop out the coconut cream that has settled on the top. Transfer the coconut cream to a blender and discard the coconut water or use it in another recipe.
  5. Add the cashews, maple syrup, juice of 4 lemons, zest of 4 lemons, vanilla extract, and salt to the blender, and blend until smooth. You may need to do this in two batches if your blender is too small to contain all the ingredients.
  6. Pour the cheesecake mix on top of the biscuit base and tap the tin to level out the mixture.
  7. Place the cheesecake in the freezer for two hours so it becomes nice and firm.
  8. Meanwhile prepare the lemon decoration by peeling the remaining lemon, then slicing the peel into 1 mm thick slices.
  9. Remove the cheesecake from the freezer 20 minutes before serving,
  10. Gently remove the cheesecake from the tin and place on a serving plate. Then sprinkle the slices of lemon peel on top.

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.
