Ingredients:
Make-Ahead:
- 1 batch (450g) vibrant vegan lime curd
For the Crust:
- 140g (1⅔ cups) crumbled ginger nut or digestive biscuits, or your preferred vegan graham crackers (see the note for a gluten-free option)
- 45g (3½ tbsp) unsalted vegan butter, for that melt-in-your-mouth crust texture
- A pinch of ½ teaspoon sea salt, to enhance the flavors
For the Filling:
- 150g (1 cup + 2 tbsp) cashews, pre-soaked for creaminess (refer to the note for soaking details)
- 200g (7 oz) smooth vegan cream cheese
- 80g (⅓ cup) luscious vegan Greek-style yogurt
- 30g (7½ tsp) coconut oil for binding
- The zest and juice of fresh limes for that citrus kick
- A dash of vanilla bean paste for depth
- A sweet touch of agave or maple syrup, if desired
Instructions:
- Start with a batch of homemade lime curd made in advance, and let it set in your refrigerator.
- Blitz your choice of biscuits with salt in a food processor, add in the vegan butter, and blend until you achieve a sticky mixture.
- Firmly press the crumbly base into your lined loaf pan and chill.
- For the filling, blend the soaked cashews with vegan cream cheese, yogurt, coconut oil, lime zest, juice, vanilla, and sweetener until utterly smooth.
- Pour over the crust and let it firm up in the fridge.
- Once set, gently warm the remaining lime curd, and pour over the cheesecake for a glossy finish.
