How to make blueberry cheesecake vegan

Make the crust for the vegan cheesecake

Start off by lining a 26 cm (10 inch) spring-form (or cake tin with removable base) with a parchment paper at the bottom. Then grease the sides with margarine. 

Next zest the lemon. All you have to do is cut a parchment paper of the same length as the box grater, place it on the side that isn’t finger friendly and grate.

Using a parchment paper makes it easier to remove the zest from the parchment paper. On top of that you won’t be having any lemon zest lying around.

In a bowl combine sugar, margarine, water, lemon zest, flour and baking powder. Using your hands mix all the ingredients together to form a firm dough.

Crumble the dough into the prepared cake tin. Using your hands, press the cake base until the bottom of the cake tin is covered.

Make the dough a bit high on the sides as well and set aside. Then preheat the oven to 175 ° C (347 °F), with both top and bottom heat.

Using the tip of the knife split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the vanilla seeds and mix the scraped out seeds with sugar.

In the same bowl that you’ve used to make the cake base (without bothering to clean it), add margarine, sugar and cornstarch and beat until creamy.

Add soy yogurt and whisk until smooth.

Scatter the blueberries over the cake base and pour cheesecake filling evenly over the top.

Bake for 1 hour. Remove from the oven, let cool for about an hour and enjoy!

I actually wanted to decorate my cheesecake with some blueberries, but my 1 year old ate them up. So I sprinkled my blueberry cheesecake vegan with powdered sugar aka. icing sugar instead. Though this is not really necessary.
