Ingredients You’ll Need for Vegan Blueberry Crumble Cheesecake

To make this comforting dessert, gather the following ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup vegan butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup cashews, soaked
1/2 cup coconut cream
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 cups fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup oats
1/4 cup brown sugar

Step-by-Step Instructions

Let’s make this delicious dessert together! Follow these simple steps:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and vegan butter until crumbly. Press this mixture into a greased springform pan to form your crust.
Bake the crust for 10-15 minutes until lightly golden.
While the crust bakes, prepare the filling by blending soaked cashews, coconut cream, maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Once the crust is baked and cooled slightly, pour the luscious filling over it.
In a saucepan, heat the fresh blueberries with a tiny splash of water until they burst. Spread these sweet berries lovingly over the cheesecake filling.
In a small bowl, mix oats and brown sugar together, then sprinkle this tasty mixture over the blueberries.
Bake the cheesecake for an additional 30-35 minutes, letting the crumble become crisp and inviting.
Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before slicing and serving. The waiting is hard, but it’s worth it!

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Here are some of my best kitchen secrets to ensure your Vegan Blueberry Crumble Cheesecake turns out perfectly:

Soak Your Cashews: Soaking cashews for at least a couple of hours (or overnight) makes them blend creamy and smooth. Quick tip: use hot water to speed up the soaking process if you’re short on time!
Make Ahead: This cheesecake can be made a day in advance. Just cover it tightly and keep it in the fridge, then serve it chilled for a great flavor.
Storage Suggestions: Leftover cheesecake should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. You can also freeze it for up to a month – just thaw in the fridge before serving!
Slicing Tips: To get clean slices, run your knife under hot water before cutting, wiping it clean after each cut.
