And it smells like fall
That sounds so much like fall and that’s exactly how it tastes like! A wonderful, vegan cheesecake without any tofu. Personally, I don’t mind tofu, I just can’t digest it that much. That is also the reason why you will not find any tofu recipes here. I prefer other vegan substitutions.
Here I used a base made from vegan quark (like curd) and cream cheese. Both based on almonds. And I think such products are simply amazing. There are so many cheese and curd alternatives out there these days – I love it! That’s just right for this vegan cheesecake! Especially since it’s baked. I think it’s great when you don’t have to go without anything. Not even on the cut resistance. This is an extremely important criterion, especially for a baked cheesecake. And even more so with a vegan one.
The combination
Apple and cinnamon! Who could resist? Or are there some of you who don’t like cinnamon? I’ve actually heard that before and I can reassure you. You can also just leave out the cinnamon. But I have to say something else about the cake: it is definitely something for all of the ones of you who like it less sweet. I made a less sweet variant especially to have something not too sugary. You are welcome to add a large scoop of vanilla ice cream to your finished pieces if you would like it sweeter. Or maple syrup – that goes incredibly well too.
Do whatever you feel like doing. I always say eating should be fun. That’s the most important thing. That you are doing something good for yourself and your body.
Have fun with the recipe and I am always very happy to receive your feedback.


Recipe
Super simple and vegan, baked & perfectly cut-resistant cheesecake. With apple and cinnamon. Perfect for the season. More here 🌱
- 350 g applesauce
- 400 g vegan quark / curd
- 150 g vegan cream cheese
- 75 g starch
- 200 g oat milk or plant-based milk of your choice
- 70 g sunflower oil
- 150 g of brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
- Coconut oil for greasing
-
Preheat the oven to 180℃/350℉ and grease a round baking tin (⌀ 20cm / 8 inch) with coconut oil. Optionally sunflower oil. Put aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, stir the quark and cream cheese with a whisk until creamy.
-
Then add all the remaining ingredients and whisk for at least 2 minutes until they are nice and creamy. This is important for the consistency of the cake. You can’t stir too much here.
-
Pour the mixture into the cake pan and tap on the kitchen surface with a little force. Repeat this a few times so that the excess bubbles can escape from the dough and do not leave cracks in the cake surface later.
-
Now put the cake in the oven and bake for about 60 minutes, until it is nice and light golden on the outside.
-
Insider tip: The cake should now cool on a wire rack and in the baking tin for 24 hours at room temperature. This is very important because it will make the cake even more juicy and firm.
-
Then enjoy it immediately or store it in the refrigerator.
