How to Make Vegan Lime & Ginger Cheesecakes

Please Note – in addition to the 20 minutes stated to make this dish, it also requires 5-6 hours (or overnight) freezing. Therefore, these cheesecakes can be made ahead of time and will also keep for several days in the freezer.

Equipment you will need

Kitchen scales

Citrus juicer

Citrus zester or fine grater

Fine-mesh sieve

Large bowl

Whisk or electric blender

preformed moulds or similar

Step 1 – Place the cream cheese in a large bowl and sieve the icing sugar onto the cheese.

I am a really lazy cook and hardly ever sieve flour but I do sieve the icing sugar when making this cheesecake mixture. I like to whisk it by hand and if I don’t sieve it first, it can be much harder to break up the natural lumps that form in sugar when in its packet.

Step 2 – Add the zest and lime juice, and half the ground biscuits. Blend together using a handheld whisk, electric blender, or food processor.

You can grind the biscuits into fine crumbs in a food processor, or place in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin or another heavy object.

Several supermarkets now mark their own brand ginger-nut biscuits as vegan so they are widely available.

You need to hold back half of the ground biscuits for decoration and extra texture and ginger flavour. This really does make a difference to the final dish. You will also need some extra lime zest for decoration but this is optional.

Step 3 – Spoon into 6 preformed moulds and freeze for 5-6 hours, or overnight.

If you don’t have any small pre-formed moulds, you can use cupcake cases as long as you can put them in a container/tin that will hold their shape.

Or you could make a whole cheesecake in a cake tine lined with cling-film and then cut into triangles before adding the final decorations. Just create your own style ????.

Step 4 – When ready to serve, turn out of moulds and decorate with the remaining ground biscuits and the extra zest. Allow to sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving.

Now Serve and Enjoy!
