Vegan No Bake Cherry Cheesecake

If we say that you really don’t have to miss anything with plant based food, then this again is a great example. This vegan No Bake Cherry Cheesecake (a.k.a. Monchoutaart) is a real common cake in the Netherlands. We have transformed this recipe into a plant based recipe and may we say… WOW WHAT GOOD! This vegan no bake cherry cheesecake has been very well received. The preparation really takes no effort. You make the cheesecake in 15 minutes. The only thing you have to remember is that the cheesecake must stiffen well in the fridge. So let it set for at least 6 hours. We recommend that you just make this a day ahead. And, if you have a birthday or party soon or just want to eat a vegan no bake cherry cheesecake, we say, give this recipe a try.

Serves: 12
Prep time: 15 minutes
Total time: 6 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

200 g Lotus biscoff cookies
75 g plant based butter
250 g firm coconut yoghurt
200 g vegan cream cheese, at room temperature
65 g powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 can (430 g) cherry pie filling

Method

1. Grind the Lotus biscoff cookies in a food processor completely fine. Melt the vegan butter and mix well through the biscuit crumbs.
2. Line the bottom of the springform tin (18 x 18 cm) with baking paper. Sprinkle the crumbs over the bottom, spread evenly and press smoothly with the back of a spoon. Put in the fridge for now.
3. Put the coconut yoghurt, vegan cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl and mix with a whisk or hand mixer until smooth. Spoon the mixture into the springform tin and spread evenly. Smooth the top. Place in the fridge for at least 6 hours.
4. An hour before serving, divide the cherry pie filling over the top of the cake and place in the fridge.

Tip: Make this cake the night before. This way the cake can stiffen in the fridge all night. We use an 18 cm springform pan. You can also use 20 or 22 cm spring form but remember that the layers will become a bit thinner.
