Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a water bath by filling a large pan halfway with water.
  2. Create your pie crust in a 9-inch springform pan and chill in the refrigerator.
  3. Blend the filling ingredients in a food processor until smooth and creamy, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes, until the edges set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  6. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake rest inside for 5 minutes.
  7. Cool at room temperature for 20 minutes, then refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight.
  8. Once chilled, slice and serve, storing any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to four days.

Notes

Ensure the vegan cream cheese is at room temperature for the best blending results. Avoid overmixing to prevent cracks during baking. A water bath is crucial for a creamy texture, as is gradual cooling in the oven.
