Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups vegan graham cracker crumbs for crust
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil for crust
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar for crust
  • 32 ounces vegan cream cheese softened
  • 1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut cream
  • 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Fresh fruit for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Make the crust by mixing the graham cracker crumbs, melted coconut oil, and granulated sugar together until crumbly and moist.
  • Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Bake the crust at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  • In a large bowl, beat the vegan cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add the coconut cream, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice; mix until well combined. Transfer the mixture to the baking pan, pouring it over the cooled crust.
  • Bake at 350°F for 50-60 minutes, until the edges are firm, but the center is still slightly jiggly.
  • Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake sit inside for 10 minutes with the door cracked.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight. If desired, serve with fresh fruit, such as strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries.
