If you love cheesecake but are lactose intolerant or vegan, don't despair. You can still enjoy this delicious dessert with a lactose-free cheesecake. Lactose-free cheesecakes are made with alternative milk and cream, such as almond milk, soy milk, or coconut milk, instead of traditional dairy products. This allows those with lactose intolerance or those following a vegan diet to enjoy cheesecake without the digestive discomfort or ethical concerns associated with consuming dairy. With a few simple substitutions, you can create a lactose-free cheesecake that is just as creamy, rich, and delicious as the traditional version.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

28 Golden Oreos
1/3 cup Vegan Butter ((75g) Melted)
1 1/4 cups Canned Coconut Cream ((300ml) hardened cream only from a chilled 14 ounce (400ml) can, chilled in the fridge overnight)
1 cup Raw Cashews ((150g))
16 ounces Dairy Free Cream Cheese ((450g) We used Tofutti brand)
1 2/3 cups Caster Sugar ((330g) Superfine Sugar*)
1/2 cup Cornstarch ((64g))
1/2 tsp Salt
5 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 Tbsp Lemon Zest
6 Golden Oreos (Crushed)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C).
  • Add the oreo cookies to the food processor and process into crumbs. Melt the vegan butter and then add to the processor and process again until all the crumbs are coated with the butter. Spray a 9-inch round pie dish* with non-stick spray and then press the cookie crumbs down into an even layer. Set aside while you prepare your filling.
  • Take the can of chilled coconut cream from the fridge and open the can. Scoop the hardened cream that has risen to the top into your blender jug, leaving the watery part behind. Add the raw cashews and blend until smooth. If your blender is not powerful (like a Vitamix) then blend the coconut cream first, and then add the cashew nuts and blend them in. Set aside.
  • Add the two tubs of dairy-free cream cheese to the bowl of your stand mixer, along with the caster sugar, cornstarch, salt, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Starting at slow speed gradually increase speed until everything is well mixed. Be careful not to overmix, it just needs to be mixed in, don't leave the mixer running.
  • Add the coconut cream and cashew mix along with some lemon zest to the cream cheese mix and fold in.
  • Pour the filling over the crust and smooth down.
  • Bake for 60 minutes.
  • After 60 minutes turn off the oven and crack open the oven door leaving the cheesecake in the oven to cool down slowly for an hour.
  • When it's finished baking it will be a little jiggly in the middle, this is perfect.
  • After cooling in the oven, move it to the counter and let it cool down to room temperature and then move it to the fridge until chilled through. It's ideal if you can leave it overnight.
  • When it's completely chilled through and firmed up then add the crumb topping and serve!

Provided by Joey Firoben

Categories     Desserts

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!

Tips:

  • Choose the right lactose-free cream cheese. Not all lactose-free cream cheeses are created equal. Some brands may still contain trace amounts of lactose, while others may have a different taste or texture than traditional cream cheese. Be sure to read the label carefully before purchasing.
  • Use full-fat lactose-free cream cheese. This will help to ensure that your cheesecake has a rich and creamy texture.
  • Don't overbeat the cream cheese. Overbeating can cause the cream cheese to become grainy.
  • Use a springform pan. This will make it easy to remove the cheesecake from the pan.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Chill the cheesecake thoroughly before serving. This will help to set the cheesecake and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a delicious and creamy lactose-free cheesecake. Just be sure to choose the right ingredients and follow the tips above. Your friends and family will never know that it's lactose-free!
