    Vegan Blueberry Cheesecake

    Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

    This Vegan Blueberry Cheesecake is as smooth and creamy as they get. It has a gluten-free crust and dairy-free filling that is just delicious!

    A vegan cheesecake that is so much like a traditional cheesecake, and is simply luscious! And you know what else? It's gluten-free!

    Instead of using refined sugar, I sweetened the filling with maple syrup and rather than cream cheese, I used an almond based cream cheese that has a wonderfully creamy texture when blended with all the other ingredients.

    These little beauties are vegan but if you feel the urge to have them with dairy, you could make them non-vegan by adding real cream cheese. But that seems to me as if I should do a whole different dairy, non-vegan blueberry cheesecake post for all of my dairy friends!

    So maybe this summer there will be a traditional cream cheese cheesecake coming up! Of course, with blueberries!

    How to make Vegan Blueberry Cheesecake

    The crust is made with oats OR nuts. Oats could be used for a lower fat and cheaper option. Use nuts if you don't use grains. Another option is to be adventurous and use both!

    The filling is made with vegan cream cheese. We used maple syrup to sweeten it. We started with 3 tablespoons. I thought it needed a little more sweetness and added another tablespoon. You may like the sweetness with just 3 tablespoons.

    Blueberries!It is our opinion that blueberries are the best berries to use for a vegan cheesecake! But strawberries would also be delightful…as well as blackberries. Basically, you can serve this tangy, creamy cake with any of your favorite berry or combo of all of them.

    There have been quite a few blueberry recipes shared here over the years. Most of these are made with dairy. If you are dairy-free, any recipe that calls for milk could be substituted with your favorite dairy-free version.

    Some of our favorites:

    This is perfect for a hot summer day:
    Blueberry Icebox Pie

    Such easy and fun bars for a party: Blueberry Bars

    Probably the muffins we bake the most: Blueberry Banana Streusel Muffins

    A really moist cake:Blueberry Buttermilk Cake

    This is a pie I still dream of:Blueberry Limoncello Pie with Sourdough Crust

    Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread

    What I make with our mangoes in the summer:Blueberry Mango Buckle

    One of the cakes baked most often:Blueberry-Lemon Bundt Cake

    An Italian tart made with pasta frolla:Blueberry Crostata

    One of my very first cakes I shared here (photos need to be redone, but super cake!) Blueberry Buckle

    Making videos for YouTube is a completely new territory yet so exciting! If you could click here to subscribe to my channel (you could even just comment and like the videos !). I want you to know that your support means the world to me!

    Refined sugar, gluten and dairy free...these vegan blueberry cheesecakes are just delightful! (We used Bob's Red Mill GF oats ...and this is not a sponsored post). Sweetened with the delicate flavor of pure maple syrup and loaded with juicy blueberries. You could make two mini ones like we did or one large one (9-inch tart).

    Whether you're vegan or not, you should make this today! Have a happy day making a cheesecake that is so easy to put together and just delicious! This recipe makes 2 4-inch tarts or one 9-inch tart. You could also make them in a silicone cupcake pan and just pop them out carefully when they have cooled. Or a regular cupcake pan with paper liners.

    Just a quick request: if you enjoyed this vegan cheesecake as much as we did, would you kindly leave me a 5-star rating and a short (or long!)comment–the ratings are what helps get my recipes and hard work discovered, so I can keep leaving you more delish recipes!

    Your comments mean the world to me….and I really SMILE when I read them. Thank you so much! XX

      I love using coconut milk as a substitute. I've also found that almond milk does well, taste wise.

      This looks delicious! I especially love the crust options - both sound great. I've been trying to cut dairy from my diet so this is going on my "to make" list!
