In celebration of Vegan Cake Day, our friends at Wiltshire have developed a delicious raspberry and coconut vegan cheesecake using cashews and soft silken tofu to make a creamy plant-based filling.

 


Ingredients

  • 600g soft silken tofu, drained
  • 1 cup raw cashews soaked for minimum 4 hours, drained
  • 125g raspberries
  • 150ml coconut oil, melted
  • 100ml maple syrup
  • 1 ½ cups pitted dates
  • ½ cup sunflower seeds
  • ½ cup pumpkin seeds
  • ½ cup almonds
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
  • Shaved fresh coconut
  • Raspberries
  • Pistachios
  • Edible flowers

Method

  1. Grease and line a Wiltshire Large Springform Pan 24.5cm.
  2. To make the crust, place all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the mixture comes together. Spoon the mixture into the base of the pan and press the mixture evenly and firmly over the base and up the sides of the pan until 4cm deep. Refrigerate until required.
  3. To make the “cheesecake” filling, place all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Pour into the crust then refrigerate for 6 hours or until set.
  4. To serve decorate with the coconut, raspberries, pistachios and flowers.
  5. This recipe is a modern take on the traditional baked cheesecake. No baking required. Best enjoyed chilled.

  • Looks good, but with so many different ingredients I wouldn’t make it. I’d be more than happy for someone else to make it and give give it a taste test.

    So it will be good to try it, and see if my kids think it is a hit!

  • Having to go dairy free again for my babies intolerances I love new recipes! It’s a tad confusing which ingredients go where but I’m sure I will figure it out! Thanks for sharing!

  • Can anyone break down which components are to be mixed together for both the base & the filling and potentially what is left over for topping. Just a little confused as to if the seeds/nuts go in the base or filling. It just states “put all ingredients”


    • Well I can tell that the last 4 ingredients are for decoration, perhaps the tofu, maple syrup, raspberries and coconut oil would be the filling and all the rest would make up the base. It is just a guess on my part, but doubt that a trial wouldn’t work that way.
