Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ cup raw pecan
½ cup almond flour
2 pitted dates
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons coconut oil
salt, to taste
2 cups raw cashew
cold water, for soaking
½ cup canned coconut milk, mixed
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
¼ cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
⅓ cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ cup strawberry, fresh or frozen
strawberry, sliced, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place the cashews in a medium bowl and cover with cold water. Let the cashews soak for at least for 4 hours, or overnight, until soft.
  • Make the crust: Using a food processor, pulse together the pecans, almond flour, dates, cinnamon, coconut oil, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until the pecans have been broken down into crumbs and the crust begins to stick together.
  • Transfer the crust to a greased and parchment paper-lined 8-inch (20 cm) springform pan. Use your fingers to press the crust into the bottom of the pan in an even layer.
  • Make the filling: Drain the soaked cashews and place them in the bowl of the food processor. Add the coconut milk, lemon juice, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Blend until very smooth, 5-7 minutes.
  • Pour roughly ⅔ of the cashew filling over the crust. Use a spatula to gently spread the mixture to the sides, then tap and shake the pan on the counter to achieve a smooth, even layer.
  • Freeze the pan while preparing the strawberry layer, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the strawberries into the remaining cashew mixture in the food processor and puree until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, about 5 minutes.
  • Scrape the strawberry filling over the first layer. Use a spatula to gently push the layer out to the sides of the pan and tap and shake the pan on the counter to achieve a smooth, even layer.
  • Top the cheesecake with sliced strawberries.
  • Freeze the cheesecake until solid, at least 4 hours.
  • To serve, let the cheesecake thaw at room temperature for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Enjoy!

GLUTEN-FREE DAIRY-FREE NEW YORK CHEESECAKE!!



Gluten-Free Dairy-Free New York Cheesecake!! image

one of my worst fears of going gluten-free dairy-free was that I would never have cheesecake again. NOT SO! and it's every bit as good as the original (gluten and dairy) one. Don't miss out on life because of limitations. :) Let me note that this recipe was modified from Craig Claiborne's Recipe

Provided by Karin Ellzey

Categories     Cakes

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 lb vegan cream cheese (i can't believe its cream cheese)
7/8 c sugar
1 1/2 c flour (bean based mix like bob's red mill)
3/4 tsp orange rind
3/4 tsp lemon rind
1/8 tsp vanilla
3 whole eggs
1 egg yolk
1/8 c cream (coconut fat from premium canned coconut milk)
1 c schar shortbread cookies (about 16)
1/8 c vegan butter

Steps:

  • 1. Bring all ingredients to room temperature. I leave them to sit out for about 1 hour before I bake. When you're ready to mix, Preheat the oven to 450.
  • 2. Put cookies and 1/8 cup vegan butter in a food processor and pulse until mixed like coarse meal. Press into the bottom and slightly up the side of a 6" spring form pan. Cover the corner just enough to make sure liquids stay inside.
  • 3. Place all the rest of the ingredients in a mixer and mix (cream cheese through coconut milk.) It is best to have all these ingredients at room temperature so they mix easily, otherwise you will have to mix eggs one at a time and slowly. Pour mixture into springform pan and place in the oven. Bake at 450 for 20 min, then turn the stove to 200 for 1 hour. Turn off the oven and let cake sit in the oven for about 30 min with the door slightly ajar. Run a knife around the edge of the pan to release the cake from the sides of the pan. Unhinge and continue to let the cake cool. When cool enough, place in the frig. I think the cake is best when cooled for about 8 hours... it gets creamier. But I never have the courage to wait that long.

Tips for Making the Best Dairy-Free Cheesecake:

  • Use a high-quality dairy-free cream cheese. Not all dairy-free cream cheeses are created equal. Some brands are gritty or have a sour taste. Be sure to choose a brand that you like the taste of.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature. This will help it blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Use a food processor or high-powered blender to blend the crust ingredients. This will help ensure that the crust is evenly blended and has a fine texture.
  • Press the crust firmly into the pan. This will help prevent the crust from cracking when you bake it.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking and will also help it cook evenly.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help the cheesecake to set and will also allow the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

Dairy-free cheesecakes are a delicious and easy way to enjoy a classic dessert without the dairy. With a few simple tips, you can make a dairy-free cheesecake that is just as creamy and delicious as a traditional cheesecake. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet treat, give one of these dairy-free cheesecake recipes a try.
