    Vegan Berry Cheesecake is the perfect dessert for summer! This dessert is simple to make with a sweet oat date crust, a blended raspberry creamy cheesecake filling, and a maple blackberry topping. This yummy dish is ready for the freezer in less than 30 minutes.

    The raspberry filling is delicious, but another flavor I absolutely love is mango. This Mango Chocolate Cheesecake is another vegan cheesecake recipe that is easy to make. The fresh mango filling is poured over an almond date crust and topped with chocolate.

    Nothing is better on a hot summer day than a cold and creamy slice of cheesecake. It is one of my favorite indulgent desserts to make and I love that this recipe is vegan and gluten-free. The sweet date oat crust is so easy to make and for the filling, all you need to do is throw the ingredients into a blender. As far as cheesecake goes, this one is pretty simple to make.

    So easy and light, this berry cheesecake is vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free and will definitely cool off your hot summer days.

    Tips

    Vegan berry cheesecake is a delicious and indulgent dessert that is perfect on those hot summer days. Here are my tips for making this cheesecake.

    • I used a small 7" springform pan. If you use a larger springform pan, your cheesecake will not be as tall.
    • Leave cheesecake in the freezer for a minimum of four hours and don't skip this step.
    • Run a sharp knife under hot water before slicing the cheesecake for the best clean cut pieces.
    • Make sure to blend the filling ingredients together really well so there are no lumps remaining for a creamy and smooth filling.
    • To save some extra time, instead of making the blackberry topping you can top raspberry filling with your favorite jam.
    • Top cheesecake with extra berries, or even a coconut whipped cream.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What kind of pan should I use?

    To make the best frozen cheesecake, I only use a springform pan.  It has a base and a circular collar that secures with a latch.  After your dessert is frozen (or baked), you open the latch and avoid the unpleasant task of trying to remove your dessert from the pan without damaging it.

    How do I store cheesecake?

    Store vegan berry cheesecake in the fridge covered with plastic wrap or in slices in an airtight container. It will keep well in the fridge for up 7 days.

    Can I make this recipe if I don't have a springform pan?

    Yes! I love the springform pan because it's so easy to remove the cheesecake, but if you don't have one you can also make this in a 9-inch pie dish.

    Tips For Making Vegan Berry Cheesecake

    1. This cheesecake mostly liquid, so be certain that your springform pan is leak proof. Freeze for several (4-5) hours before serving.
    2. I chose raspberries for the filling and blackberries for the topping. You can substitute any fruit that you like for either the filling or the topping.
    3. If you are making this cheesecake gluten free, but are not vegan or dairy free, you do not have to use vegan cream cheese.
    4. To cut the frozen cheesecake, run hot water on the knife for 2 seconds to make cutting easier.
    5. I used a metal skewer to swirl the blackberry topping. Be gentle when swirling so that your design will not sink into the raspberry cream.
