Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Dairy-free cream cheese
- 1 cup Coconut cream
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1.5 cups Dairy-free graham cracker crumbs
- 0.3 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons Agave syrup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the dairy-free graham cracker crumbs, melted coconut oil, and agave syrup until well combined.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Use the bottom of a glass to help pack it tightly. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the dairy-free cream cheese with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Add in the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Continue beating until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
Add the coconut cream and beat for another minute. The mixture should be smooth with no lumps.
Sift the cornstarch over the mixture and gently fold it in using a spatula until there are no visible streaks.
Pour the cream cheese filling over the prepared crust in the baking dish, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to fully set before slicing and serving.
Cut into slices and enjoy your dairy-free cheesecake!
