This is the perfect refreshing dessert that you can store in the freezer for up to 3 months and treat yourself to whenever you want something sweet, light, and creamy.

It’s healthy or healthier than storebought or traditional cheesecakes because it’s refined sugar-free and the main filling is made from lighter ingredients such as yogurt, coconut cream, and cashews instead of calorie-rich cream cheese
It’s vegan and lactose-free, suitable for people with these diets

Spread out and press evenly the cashew, coconut, and date mixture.
Then take a blender and blend all other ingredients until you get a creamy cheesecake filling. Adjust to the taste strawberries and honey.

Vegan Strawberry Cheesecake (sugar-free)

Creamy and light Vegan Strawberry Cheesecake will be the perfect summer cake for any occasion and celebration. This vegan cake is no-bake, refined sugar-free, and lactose-free. Easy to make with two main tools – blender and small saucepan.

Vegan and Sugar-free Strawberry Cheesecake

What are the ingredients? Which can be replaced?

Fresh or frozen strawberries – I used frozen strawberries, but you can use any other berries such as blueberries, cherries, or raspberries. This cake is the perfect summer cake if it’s possible to use fresh berries right from the garden.

Silken tofu is the main ingredient that will give the creaminess to the cake. You can replace it with cashews ~ 230g (soaked in a hot water for at least 30 minutes).

Honey is one of my favorite healthy sweeteners. I have used it a lot, because it contains a variety of nutrients, rich in antioxidants and has many other good benefits. You can replace it with agave syrup, stevia, or coconut sugar.

Coconut milk/cream (canned) is the most popular healthy ingredient for vegan cheesecakes, but you can try to use instead greek style vegan yogurt (sugar-free).

Agar powder is a vegan powder that helps to set the cake, but you can replace it with gelatin (non-vegan).

Sugar-free cookies are one the easiest ingredient to use for making the base of the cake. You can also make the base from oats, dates, and nuts, blending it all in a sticky mixture.

Coconut oil – This ingredient helps stick together the crushed cookies. You can replace half of it with peanut butter and/or plant-based milk.

Healthy Cherry Cheesecake (No-bake)

Delicious no-bake vegan and refined sugar-free Healthy Cherry Cheesecake with a creamy cherry filling, and crunchy cookie base will be the perfect summer dessert.

This cake is easy to make, because the main tool is blender where you process all the ingredients. Healthy Cherry Cheesecake with no baking has super creamy filling which sets up in the fridge in a couple of hours. Easy, delicious and healthy cake for any occasion.

What tools do you need to make this cake?

Blender or food processor (to make the cake filling)
Cake tin (I used 20cm)
A mixing bowl (to process the cookie mixture with coconut oil)

Notes and tips:

Instead of cherries, you can use strawberries, blueberries or other berries of your choice. You can use fresh or frozen berries, but defrosted and free of excess liquid.
You can use vegan plant-based or lactose-free Greek-style yogurt with no additional sweeteners to retain the natural taste of the cake. Coconut oil is the main ingredient for setting the filling in the fridge. This is the secret ingredient that helps to set the vegan cheesecake without agar-agar or gelatin. 
Cashews make the cake creamy. Soak cashews in hot water at least 10 minutes before using. The more you will soak the cashews the softer they will get and will be easier to blend them.
