Ingredients

Scale

Basic Ingredients

  • 450g plant-based cream cheese
  • 150g granulated sugar (natural)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp plain flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free)
  • 120ml heavy plant-based cream
  • 1 tsp natural vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Loaf Pan: Line your loaf pan generously with parchment paper, making sure it extends above the edges for easy removal. This allows the cheesecake to expand during baking and prevents sticking.
  2. Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, beat the plant-based cream cheese with granulated sugar (natural) until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the heavy plant-based cream and natural vanilla extract (natural). Gently fold in the plain flour (or gluten-free blend) and natural gelling agent, taking care to keep the batter light and airy.
  3. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake at 210°C (410°F) for 40 to 50 minutes until the top is deeply caramelized and burnt-looking. The center should still jiggle slightly when you shake the pan gently.
  4. Cool and Remove: Let the cheesecake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour. Using the parchment overhang, carefully lift the cheesecake out of the pan. Chill in the refrigerator for a few hours to fully set and develop flavor.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for smooth mixing and to avoid lumps.
  • Do not overbake; a slight jiggle in the center means perfect creaminess.
  • Line the pan well with parchment paper extending above edges for easy removal.
  • Bake at a high temperature to get the signature caramelized top without drying the center.
  • Chill the cheesecake before slicing for clean, perfect pieces.
