What would this world be like if cheesecake didn’t exist?? I don’t even want to think about it! I remember when I chose to stop eating dairy products I was absolutely gutted by the idea of not having cheesecake anymore!! Fast forward some time now and I am happily making these vegan mini cheesecakes and enjoying every bite! I’ve fooled a few folks and pleased even more with these goodies and I am so excited for you to try them!
Today we’re embracing the art of no-bake desserts with a citrus twist! My Citrus No Bake Vegan Cheesecake Roses are not just desserts; they’re a celebration of vibrant flavors, textures, and the joy of plant-based baking. Perfect for Valentine’s Day, special occasions, or whenever you crave a sweet, guilt-free indulgence, these cheesecakes are sure to impress. I’m also truly obsessed with the crust of these cheesecakes, I love graham crackers and there is nothing better than finding a vegan graham cracker that you can turn into the perfect crust for a no bake cheesecake. What sets these vegan mini cheesecakes aside from the rest is that they are adorably made into little roses which make them really precious in appearance. All of the ingredients are simple and easy to find which also makes these babies a winner! It’s time to fall in love with these dairy free cheesecakes, let’s dig in!
Creating these mini cheesecake roses is a sweet process; no pun intended. Start with mixing the creamy filling, spoon it into your chosen silicone moulds, and let the freezer do the rest. I want to note that you can use any mold but if you’re interested in making them rose shaped like mine, click here. A sweet graham cracker base adds the perfect crunch to each bite, creating a dessert that’s as multi-dimensional in texture as it is in taste. Once your mini cheesecakes have hardened it’s time to add your crust to the top by mixing all the ingredients and pressing it into each mould – put it back in the freezer until they are both hardened and then it’s time to decorate.
These dairy free cheesecakes are ready to eat once everything has settled and you can pop them out of the mould without crumbling. If you choose to garnish your cheesecake you could consider an assortment of fresh fruits like berries or mango slices, a dollop of vegan whipped cream, or a drizzle of vegan caramel or chocolate sauce for an extra touch of decadence.
Leftover cheesecakes can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for a longer shelf life. Ensure they’re tightly covered or stored in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and prevent any freezer burn. I’ll be surprised if there are any left to store for a later date; they honestly are irresistible!
