Creamy (Almost) Raw Vegan Blueberry Cheesecake
Creamy (Almost) Raw Vegan Blueberry CheesecakeSome people tell me: “Oh you are vegan, so you can’t eat a cheesecake…” Well, of course, I can, I love to make and to eat vegan cheesecakes. 😀 The cheesecakes I made so far are not only delicious, but they are also so much healthier than regular cheesecakes which contain milk, eggs, cream, butter, gluten, sugar and other unhealthy ingredients.
What makes my cheesecakes so much better? Well, they contain plants only, no cholesterol and they are cruelty-free and still very tasty. Yes they contain some fat, but that’s healthy fat from nuts/seeds, so don’t worry.
Vegan cheesecakes might not taste exactly like regular cheesecakes but I actually like them so much more. Do you like vegan cheesecakes? If yes, you will love this raw vegan blueberry cheesecake.
Vegan Cheesecake Ingredients
Vegan Cheesecake IngredientsThis particular cheesecake is not only dairy free, but it’s also paleo-friendly, gluten-free, plant-based and refined sugar-free. It tastes light and creamy and it will literally melt in your mouth.
The cake crust contains two ingredients only, peanuts and dates. However, you don’t have to use peanuts, you can use any nuts such as cashews, walnuts, almonds or seeds such as sunflower seeds or pepitas, it’s up to you.
The cheesecake cream contains soaked cashews, coconut yogurt, coconut milk and a liquid sweetener such as raw agave or maple syrup. You can use soy yogurt instead of coconut yogurt though.
The purple layer contains also blueberries, which are not only delicious but also super healthy as they are packed with many nutrients and antioxidants. You can learn more about the health benefits of berries here.
I also added a tsp of maqui berry powder and lime juice which turned out into a beautiful purple color. This step is of course optional.

Ingredients
CAKE CRUST
- 1/3 cup (60 g) nuts of choice OR 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 8 small soft (60 g) dates
CHEESECAKE CREAM
- 2/3 cup (100 g) cashews
- 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp (100 g) coconut yogurt
- 3 tbsp (60 g) agave syrup or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) coconut milk or almond milk, soy milk etc.
- 1 cup (150 g) blueberries + more for decoration
- 1 tsp maqui berry powder (optional)
Instructions
Soak cashews overnight or for at least 3 hours. It's also possible to boil the cashews in water for about 15 minutes until they are soft. Then drain the water and rinse the cashews.
Blend the ingredients for the crust in your food processor (pulse about 10-20 seconds) and spread the crust in a 4-inch springform. Set aside.
Now blend all cream ingredients (except the blueberries and the maqui berry powder) in your high-speed blender.
Set aside about 2/3 of the cream and blend the remaining 1/3 of the cream with the blueberries. I also added 1 tsp of maqui berry powder and 1 tsp of lime juice for a vibrant purple color.
Pour 1/2 of the light cream onto the crust and put the pan in the freezer for about half an hour.
Pour the purple cream on top and freeze again for half an hour.
Finally, add the remaining light cream on top and decorate with some blueberries.
Freeze again for at least 3 hours (or overnight).
Let the cake thaw before you enjoy it.
Notes
- Nuts: Use nuts of choice, for example, cashews, walnuts, macadamia nuts, hazelnuts, etc. You can also use seeds like sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds, hemp seed, etc. instead.
- Store the vegan cheesecake in the freezer. Let thaw for 30 minutes before you serve it.
