How to Make No-Bake White Chocolate Blueberry Cheesecake
Ingredients
- 1½ cups (170g) graham cracker or cookie crumbs
- 4 tbsp (56g) vegan butter, melted
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 2 packages (454g) vegan cream cheese
- 10 oz (280g) vegan white chocolate
- 1 cup (237ml) full-fat coconut milk or preferred milk alternative
- 2 tsp vegan lactic acid or apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ¾ tsp agar powder
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
Directions
Prepare the Crust: Place the graham crackers or cookies in a food processor and blend them into fine crumbs. Slowly add the melted vegan butter and pulse until the mixture looks like wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8" ring mold lined with acetate. Refrigerate it.
Make the Blueberry Compote: In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries and sugar over low heat. Stir occasionally until the blueberries become soft and release their juices. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium saucepan, mix the vegan white chocolate, coconut milk, vegan cream cheese, lactic acid (or apple cider vinegar), and granulated sugar. Stir over medium heat until the chocolate melts, and the mixture is smooth. Add the agar powder and stir until it starts to bubble. Let it boil for 20-30 seconds, stirring constantly.
Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust. Swirl the blueberry compote into the cheesecake filling for a lovely marbled effect. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until it firms up.
Serve and Enjoy: Carefully unmold and slice the cheesecake. You can top it with vegan whipped cream or extra blueberry compote if you like.
