Ingredients

  • 1 8-inch pie crust (Homemade or store bought * See notes)
  • 16 oz vegan cream cheese (room temperature ** See notes)
  • 2/3 cup sugar (*** See notes)

  • 3 tablespoon milk of choice (I used almond milk)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare your pie crust in an 8-inch pan, and set aside. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, add your softened cream cheese with sugar and beat on low, until smooth and creamy. While still on low, add in the cornstarch, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Continue beating on low until combined. Once combined, turn up to high and continue beating, until smooth.

  3. 3

    Transfer your cheesecake into the prepared pie crust. Bake the cheesecake for 40-45 minutes.

    Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
