Christmas vegan cheesecake step by step:
1. Boil water and soak the cashews in it for 15 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
3. Take a 20 cm diameter springform cake tin, place baking paper on the bottom.
4. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl: flour, oatmeal, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.
5. Assemble ANKARSRUM with the 3.5-liter plastic mixing bowl for whipping and the double whisk handle, which is part of the basic set, but you can also buy it separately HERE. Check out THIS VIDEO to see what the basic set includes.
6. Beat the soft butter and brown sugar for 1-2 minutes at medium speed until fluffy.
7. Gradually pour the dry ingredients into the bowl while mixing at low speed. Mix with Ankarsrum for approx. for 1 minute.
8. Pour the vegetable milk into the bowl and continue mixing on low speed until the dough comes together.
9. Set aside 100 grams of dough for the biscuit decoration, press the rest into the springform cake tin. Bake the cake base for 5 minutes.
10. Now reassemble ANKARSRUM with the 3.5 liter plastic mixing bowl and the double whisk.
11. Blend the soaked, drained and rinsed cashews at high speed with the yogurt, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth for 2-3 minutes.
12. Pour the smooth mixed filling on top of the pre-baked dough. Decorate the top with cranberries and bake for another 25 minutes. After that, let it cool completely and solidify.
13. While the cake is cooling, mix the 100 gram dough with the flour in a bowl to get a smooth cookie dough. If necessary, you can also help with manual kneading.
14. Roll out the dough thinly on a floured surface and cut out the heart-shaped cookies with a cookie cutter. When ready, bake them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper or in a baking tray for 10 minutes.
15. Decorate the cheesecake with the cookies.
16. Whisk the plant-based whipping cream using your ANKARSUM stand mixer with the double whisk attachment on medium speed for about 2 minutes or until foamy.
17. Refrigerate the assembled vegan cheesecake for a few hours or overnight to firm up. Serve with the help of the ANKARSRUM confectionery set!
