I'm so happy that i managed to crack this one! One of my favorite desserts as a non vegan was cheesecake, the unbaked, deliciously creamy kind and this one absolutely nails it. I gave it to my (non-vegan) partner who absolutely loved it too!
Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake!
What you will need:
(makes two small cheesecakes but you can double or triple the recipe as required)
100g of Vegan Soft Cheese
40g of Powdered/Icing Sugar
80g of Lotus Biscoff Spread
80g of Coconut Cream (just scoop out the thick part from the top of a can of coconut milk)
about 8 Lotus Biscoff Bicuits
50g of Vegan Margarine.
Start by making the cheesecake part and it is really simple. Just throw the soft cheese, powdered sugar, lotus biscoff spread and the coconut cream into a bowl and whisk it pretty hard for about a minute or two. It should be pretty soft but if you turn the bowl on it's side it shouldn't run out the bowl.
It might seem a bit runny but don't worry it will set properly in the fridge.
Now for the setup
We can do this two ways - the easy way or the slightly harder way I'm going to show you the harder way, which also looks great but you can just follow the steps using a glass if its easier and layer it up in that.
Start by taking a metal ring or cutter and line the inside with non stick baking parchment
Either using a food processor or a mortal and pestle crush up the lotus biscuits (you can also just mash them up with a rolling pin if you like) set aside about 1/4 of the biscuit crumb for later. Melt the Margarine and add slowly to the remaining mix, you might not need it all. Keep mixing the biscuits and melted margarine until they are well bound. When you press them they should stick together but you don't want the mix to be oily so go slow, bit at a time and make sure the margarine is well mixed in before adding more.
Now press the biscuit mixture into the bottom of your metal ring and gently press it down....
Now add the cheesecake mix....
Finally, top with the left over biscoff crumb
Put your cheesecakes into the fridge to set for at least a couple of hours and they should go nice and firm. Remove from the rings and gently peel off the paper to serve. Top with a little spoon of the biscoff spread to finish.
I hope you will enjoy these as much as i did, the great thing about this recipe is that the powdered sugar, soft cheese and coconut solids mix will set on it's own so in the future i'm hoping to use it again for other vegan treats like carrot cake and banoffee Pie!
See you soon!!!

Cheesecake is one of my favorite deserts too @mealhound !
Being a vegan changed a lot of things in my life in a good way... But on the other hand I couldn't have lots of sweets and deserts...
I can't taste your cake on photos, but weirdly I can smell it! And it just makes me hungry...
I will give it a try in honor of my days drowning in confectionery industry!
Thanks for sharing
♥♥♥
That's exactly why I worked on this. I honestly believe that most things we miss from time to time as vegans can either be replicated or replaced with something equally delicious. Thanks for the comment.

Oh boy... Now I am hungry. This looks so good.
Hands down the best vegan dessert I've ever made. So good and very versatile. You could swap the biscoff for peanut butter or chocolate spread I think and it would work nicely 😁

BIscoff is a brand? Can you let me know, No issue even if not. I loved this post because it shows some light on how much process is behind making a cake. Usually when we goes to bakery and buy stuff like this we never realize that too much process are behind this.
Your step by step methods and photographs looks colorful. Appreciate your efforts in posting it here. Congrats for curie selection
Thanks for your comment. Biscoff is a kind of brand but you could swap it in this recipe for peanut butter I guess. I haven't tried that so if you do let me know how you get on.

That looks delicious! I have never liked cheesecakes to be honest but the vegan version sounds appealing. And I love the lotus biscoff biscuits :)
Thank you for sharing your recipe! Have a lovely day!
Thanks. It's pretty close to a regular unbaked cheesecake though so possibly not for you? But try it nd let me know what you think 😁

I got so excited by this post - and the pic - until I read the ingredients. Cos I live in Northern Thailand and all those processed, pre made vegan options are simply not available here.
So - your mission if you choose to accept it:
A how-to POST for each of those commercial pre-made ingredients, showing us how to make them at home.
So many vegan people living here in Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand - one of THE top vegan cities in the world. But import regs and HUGE import taxes make importing them not realistic. Soooo..... LOL..... over to you. :)
From one holding-her-breath cheesecake lover.
Hmmmm....let me think about it. I'm not sure we could replicate the biscoff but I'm pretty sure we could change for peanut butter. Is that something you could get? If not a good processor and some peanuts for that. I think I have a recipe for homemade cream cheese so I will have a look. 😁

The nut butters are easy here since the nuts mostly GROW here - cashew nut butter also very common here and affordable. I'be been deselected from 'the system' I have NO IDEA what biscoff even is. LOL. Homemade cream cheese recipe would be very cool. :)
Yeah it's one of those delicious things that you probably shouldn't eat kind of like a caramel taste but with smooth peanut butter consistency. I'll have a look for that vegan cream cheese for you. Are you native to Thailand or how long have you lived there?
