Ingredients
Gluten Free Graham Cracker Crust
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free graham cracker crumbs*
- 6 Tbs. melted butter or Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks non-dairy
- 2 Tbs. granulated cane sugar optional
Vegan Cheesecake Filling
- 16 ounces 2 cups silken tofu
- 8 ounces 1 cup soy cream cheese (plain) (Tofutti® Cream Cheese or Follow Your Heart Vegan Gourmet® Cream Cheese)
- 4 ounces 1/2 cup soy sour cream (plain) (Tofutti® Better Than Sour Cream or Vegan Gourmet® Sour Cream)
- 2 Tablespoons gfJules ™ All-Purpose Gluten Free Flour
- 2/3 cup confectioner’s sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated cane sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon lime or orange peel (optional)
Toppings
- 2 cups fresh berries for topping or 3/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips Enjoy Life® Mini Chips
Instructions
- To make the crust, crush gluten free graham crackers in a blender or food processor, or place in a large zip-top bag and roll over with a rolling pin until crackers are finely chopped. If the pieces are too large, they won’t hold together in the crust, so make sure the crackers are crushed finely.
- Stir together with sugar and melted butter or vegan butter, adding the extra one tablespoon if necessary to hold the crumbs together for the crust.
- Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9- or 10-inch pie pan. Place into cold oven while oven is preheating.
- Set oven to preheat at 325° F.
- Bring all cheesecake ingredients to room temperature, then blend together in a large food processor or stand mixer with whisk attachment. Process or beat until smooth, adding the citrus peel last.
- Remove crust from the warmed oven and pour filling into the pan, filling only 2/3 full. If extra filling remains, pour into an oiled ramekin and bake separately.
- Bake for 50 minutes, or until lightly browned and only slightly jiggly in the center. Turn the oven off, but leave the cheesecake in the oven for 1 hour more.
- Remove to fully cool afterwards on a wire rack before refrigerating or topping.
- Refrigerate until set and ready to serve.
