Vegan Baked Cheesecake

Gluten-free and Vegan Baked Cheesecake is a delicious and inexpensive dessert.

Vegan Baked Cheesecake is rich, creamy, and perfectly sweet with a little lemon flavor. It’s a very foolproof, easy-to-make recipe, that uses a few simple and budget-friendly ingredients. Vegan Baked Cheesecake makes a beautiful dessert for Easter, or birthdays. And it’s also the perfect treat for a lazy weekend.

I’ve talked about this a few times here, I really suck at baking. So whenever you see a baked recipe on this blog you can be sure, it’s a very-very easy, simple, and beginner friendly one.

Just like this Vegan Baked Cheesecake.

So if you are like me, and not the best baker in the world, you’ll love this recipe!

This cake is somewhere between Käsekuchen, a German style cheesecake, and Túrótorta, a Hungarian cheesecake made out of cheese curds. The crust is crunchy and buttery, and the filling is extra dense, rich, silky, and creamy, with a slight vanilla and lemon taste. Vegan Baked Cheesecake is perfect topped with fresh or frozen fruits, caramel sauce, grated chocolate, or just a simple dust of powdered sugar.

What’s also great about this recipe, that it’s fairly cheap to make. Cashew cheesecake recipes are super awesome, but let’s be honest. They are expensive. Especially if you plan to feed a larger group.

So we use tofu here to make the smoothest, creamiest cheesecake filling of our dreams.

And don’t worry, this cake won’t taste like tofu! Tofu is very mild, so you can enjoy the perfectly sweet vanilla and lemon aroma. In fact, tofu is so mild or neutral in taste, you can go with other flavorings here as well. Try chocolate, pumpkin, berry, banana, or whatever you like!

I wanted to make a gluten-free crust here, so most of you can enjoy this cake. However if you don’t eat GF, or just looking for an even more budget-friendly option, you can simply make a crust out of sugar, graham crackers, and vegan butter. Or you know, use store-bought crust.
