Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 400g plant-based cream cheese
- 100ml grape juice (natural)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (natural)
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 tbsp natural gelling agent
- 150g fresh blueberries
Crumble Topping
- 150g all-purpose flour
- 100g brown sugar (natural)
- 100g vegan butter (natural), softened
Instructions
- Prepare the Crumble Topping: Combine all-purpose flour, brown sugar (natural), and softened vegan butter (natural) in a bowl. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the mixture until small pea-sized crumbs form. Set aside while preparing the filling.
- Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixer, blend plant-based cream cheese with grape juice (natural), lemon juice (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and natural gelling agent until smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate Fresh Blueberries: Gently fold fresh blueberries into the filling, being careful not to crush them to maintain their color and texture.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the filling into a prepared springform pan or baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the filling to cover completely.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake at a moderate temperature until the edges are set but the center has a slight jiggle. Let cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to firm up and develop flavor.
Notes
- Ensure plant-based cream cheese and vegan butter are at room temperature for smoother blending.
- Fold blueberries gently to keep them intact and avoid coloring the entire filling.
- Distribute the crumble topping evenly for consistent crunch in every slice.
- Use fresh blueberries for best texture and sweetness.
- Chill thoroughly before serving to maintain texture and flavor.
