Ingredients

Dairy Free Cheesecake

  • 1 can (13.5oz) coconut milk full fat, I used Thai kitchen (Chilled in the refrigerator overnight)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 2/3 cup Monk Fruit powdered sweetener divided, or another sugar-free confectioners sweetener
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tsp gelatin unflavored
  • 16 ounces dairy free vegan cream cheese plain, I used Daiya brand
  • 1/2 cup coconut yogurt plain, I used So Delicious brand

Optional Blackberry Syrup

  • 6 ounces fresh blackberries or another low carb berry
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp Monk Fruit Liquid sweetener or sweetener of choice to taste
  • 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1 tsp lemon juice, lemon zest optional

Instructions

Cheesecake

  • Grease an 8-inch spring form pan or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Canned coconut milk should be refrigerated overnight. When ready to make recipe, flip can over and open. Remove all but 1/4 cup of the coconut water, discard remaining liquid, but scoop out the cream.
    Place the coconut cream and 1/4 cup coconut water into a stand mixer or large bowl using an electric hand mixer. Use whisk attachment and mix on high speed until thickened, could take up to 10 minutes.
  • While it's mixing, add the vanilla extract, salt and 1/3 cup monk fruit sweetener. Set aside once thickened.
  • In a small sauce pan add water and sprinkle gelatin. Bring to a boil and stir until dissolved. Set aside to cool.
  • In another mixing bowl add the cream cheese, yogurt and 1/3 cup Monk Fruit sweetener. Use a hand electric mixer or stand mixer and blend on high until well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. On low speed, drizzle in the cooled gelatin until combined.
  • Fold in the whipped coconut cream. Pour mixture into pan and refrigerate for 3-4 hours or overnight. Serve as is or top with blackberry syrup if desired.

Optional Blackberry Syrup

  • Place blackberries and water in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Mash berries while mixture comes to a boil. Once there are no large berries and all well mashed, turn off heat.
    Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and pour in mashed berries. Use a spatula to mash berries against the mesh strainer to release all the juices so you will have a nice seedless syrup.
  • Return the strained blackberry juice to the sauce pan on the stove and heat over medium heat. Add salt, Monk Fruit sweetener and sprinkle xanthan gum.
    Bring to a boil, constantly stirring, about 5 minutes to thicken syrup. Remove from heat. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before pouring over chilled cheesecake.
