Categories     dessert

Time 4h25m

Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the molds
3/4 cup fine graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted butter, melted
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
2 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons freshly grated lime zest
1/4 cup Key lime juice (from about 13 small Key limes or 2 large regular limes)
1 heaping tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup thawed frozen raspberries
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lime zest

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Spray the bottoms of 24 cupcake-size silicon molds with cooking spray (or two 12-cup muffin pans) and place them on a baking sheet.
  • To make the crust, in a small mixing bowl, stir together the crumbs, sugar and melted butter, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of each mold. Set aside.
  • For the filling: Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the sugar, lime zest, lime juice, cornstarch and vanilla and beat until smooth.
  • Pour the filling into the prepared crusts. Bake until the tops are lightly brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • For the sauce: Meanwhile, to make the sauce, process the raspberries, sugar and lime zest in a food processor or blender until smooth. Chill for at least 1 hour before drizzling over the cheesecake and serving.

VEGAN CHEESECAKE (RASPBERRY SWIRL AND KEY LIME)



Vegan Cheesecake (Raspberry Swirl and Key Lime) image

This is a basic vegan cheesecake which can be made plain or modified into a key lime and raspberry swirl variety. Very tasty. Even non-vegans can't tell the difference.

Provided by lemurgirl

Categories     Cheesecake

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 6 graham crackers)
4 tablespoons vegan margarine (I use Smartbalance)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 (8 ounce) packages vegan cream cheese (I use Toffuti)
4 tablespoons lemon juice
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon extra firm tofu or 2 -3 tablespoons fruit pectin
3/4 cup sugar (increase from 2/3 Cup)
3/4 cup fresh key lime juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups frozen raspberries
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/3 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Crust:.
  • Combine cracker crumbs and sugar with melted margarine in a small bowl. Press mixture into a spring form cheesecake pan. (or other pan of choice.) Bake at 350°F for about 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven.
  • Filling:.
  • Combine all filling ingredients into blender or food processor. If you are not using the tofu, you can hand mix it, but with tofu it is necessary blend it really well or you will get lumps. If you use the pectin, make sure the pectin is properly dissolved and mixed well. (I usually add the pectin to the lemon juice and mix before adding the other ingredients).
  • Pour mixture into prepared crust and bake for about 45 minutes at 350°F Check often. Cake is done when it begins to pull away from the sides and appears to be set in the middle. (Some people wait for a slightly brown top, but I find that if cooked too long it starts to bubble and crack).
  • Chill for about 3 hours or overnight.
  • For raspberry swirl:.
  • Thaw raspberries. Press through a sieve to remove seeds (optional). Combine lemon juice, pectin and raspberries an stir thoroughly.
  • Drop blobs of raspberry mixture onto surface of uncooked cheesecake. Stir in decorative swirls with a butter knife or chopstick. Bake as above. Be careful not to let the top bubble or crack too much or your design will be ruined.
  • Happy baking. :).

Tips:

  • Use fresh key limes: Fresh key limes are essential for this recipe. Bottled or jarred lime juice will not produce the same flavor.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened: To ensure a smooth cheesecake filling, make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before using.
  • Don't overbeat the cheesecake filling: Overbeating the cheesecake filling can cause it to become dense and grainy. Mix until just combined.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: Baking the cheesecake in a water bath helps to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Chill the cheesecake thoroughly before serving: Chilling the cheesecake thoroughly helps it to set properly and develop its flavor.
  • Use fresh raspberries for the swirl: Fresh raspberries will produce the best flavor and color for the swirl.
  • Add the raspberry swirl to the cheesecake batter just before baking: Adding the raspberry swirl to the cheesecake batter just before baking will prevent the swirl from sinking to the bottom of the cheesecake.

Conclusion:

These key lime cheesecakes with raspberry swirls are the perfect dessert for any occasion. They are creamy, tangy, and refreshing, with a beautiful swirl of raspberry flavor. Follow these tips to make sure your cheesecakes turn out perfectly.
