Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 400g creamy plant-based cheese
  • 150g granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 120ml heavy plant-based cream
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Loaf Pan: Line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper, extending over the edges to enable easy removal later. This will help keep the cheesecake intact and make slicing effortless.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the creamy plant-based cheese, heavy plant-based cream, eggs, vanilla extract (natural), lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar until completely smooth and well combined. This mixture forms the creamy base of your cheesecake.
  3. Blend in the Dry Ingredients: Sift the all-purpose flour and natural gelling agent into the wet mixture. Gently fold everything together to avoid over-mixing, maintaining a light yet structured batter.
  4. Pour and Bake: Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for approximately 40-50 minutes, or until the top is deeply caramelized with dark golden spots and the center has a slight jiggle. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  5. Cool and Chill: Allow the cheesecake to cool fully at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. This ensures the flavors meld and the texture firms for perfect slicing.

Notes

  • Room temperature ingredients ensure smooth mixing without lumps.
  • Keep a close eye on the oven for the signature caramelized top and slight jiggle in the center.
  • Use parchment paper generously to prevent sticking and ease removal.
  • Fold dry ingredients gently to maintain air in the batter for ideal custard texture.
  • Chill thoroughly to enhance flavor development and firmness for slicing.
