Hello lovelies, once again I have a delicious cake recipe for you for: vegan cheesecake with raspberries. I had made this one for a party and it was very well received by everyone. To be honest, you couldn’t really notice that the cheesecake was vegan. It turned out really creamy and I've added some raspberry jam to the curd layer for a fruity note. The recipe is actually a modification of my aunt’s classic cheesecake, which I always liked very much as a child.

I posted a recipe before, here. However, this time I didn’t use silken tofu for the cream, but vegan curd. You can find it more and more in the supermarkets and it’s very suitable for baking. This cheesecake with fresh raspberries was definitely a treat for the eyes, or what do you think?

I love this cheesecake, not only because it puts me back into my childhood. But the mixture of the shortcrust and the creamy, sweet filling with vanilla flavor is simply heavenly. Add a cup of coffee and I'm happy! Of course you can also omit the jam, then you have a classic cheese cake.

And even without the pretty berries on the cake, it’s a pleasure all year round. I'm sure your family and guests will love the cheesecake as much as we do. So far I have only received compliments. Just try it out and as mentioned, nobody will notice that the cake is vegan.

If you are craving more vegan cake, do try my perfect vegan cheesecake with silken tofu for a slightly different filling, the fruity vegan berry tart with crumbles or, in early summer, the airy lemon elderflower cake with strawberries - all three are real favorites in our home.

TIPS

Verena's notes

tip from my kitchen: for an extra creamy, smooth filling, stir the vegan curd and custard powder just until combined – overmixing makes the cream airy and more likely to crack while baking. to avoid cracks, let the cake cool completely in the pan after baking, ideally with the oven door slightly ajar. you can fold fresh or frozen raspberries into the cream or scatter them over the finished cake. it slices best after chilling for a few more hours.

Frequently asked questions

  • a firm, neutral vegan curd such as Provamel or Alpro works best. it gives the filling structure and a pleasant tang. runnier brands can make the cake too soft, in which case a little extra custard powder helps it set.

  • cracks usually come from too much heat or cooling down too fast. bake the cake at 180°C (356°F) and let it cool completely in the pan, ideally with the oven door slightly ajar. that keeps the surface smooth.

  • let the cake cool completely in the springform pan, which takes about 2–3 hours depending on room temperature. it turns creamiest and easiest to slice if you then chill it for a few more hours or overnight.

  • yes. you can fold fresh or frozen raspberries into the filling or scatter them over the finished cake. the raspberry jam in the layer adds an extra fruity, slightly tart note, and the two work well together.

  • no. the vegan curd, sour cream and soy cream make the filling wonderfully creamy and full-bodied. so far nobody has noticed mine is vegan, i have only ever received compliments.
