Tips
- If you don’t have the time to prepare the crust, you can simply use a storebought crust.
- If you don’t want to use rolled oats for the crust, you can substitute it by processing 12 to 14 digestive biscuits with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. You don’t have to bake it. You just need to let it chill in the fridge for at least 12 hours.
- For the best results, make sure that all your ingredients are at room temperature.
- Oven temperatures vary from one oven to another, so keep checking your cheesecake while it’s baking, and remove it from the oven if it starts cracking.
FAQ
How Can I Make Sure That My Eggless Cheesecake Will Turn Out Creamy And Not Dry?
The most common thing that happens to eggless cheesecakes is that they turn out a bit dry. The best way to make sure that all your eggless cheesecakes will turn out creamy and not crack or overbake is by actually removing it from the oven right away instead of propping the oven door open to let it cool down. Doing that for an eggless cheesecake might actually cause to overbake, and crack.
How Can I Make This Eggless Cheesecake Gluten-free?
To make this cheesecake gluten-free, you simply need to substitute the rolled oats with gluten-free oats. You can also feel free to use a gluten-free homemade graham cracker crust, or you can use a gluten-free crust, both will taste amazing with the filling especially the graham cracker crust. I don’t recommend though substituting any of the other ingredients with other ingredients because the results will not be the same.
Can I Store This Eggless Cheesecake In The Fridge?
One of the many qualities of this eggless cheesecake recipe is that you can actually freeze it and use it whenever you wish. If your cheesecake is already sliced, then you simply have to wrap the slices in a plastic wrap gently and cover them with foil, then put them in a heavy container. If your cheesecake is not sliced, then you just have to wrap it with plastic wrap and cover it completely with a piece of foil, then you can freeze it. If it’s sliced, the slices will be good for up to 6 weeks if it is not sliced then the cheesecake could last you up to two months. You can always leave it longer and freeze it for up to 6 months, but you need to keep in mind that the texture will not be the same.
To defrost it, you just have to transfer it from the freezer to the fridge and let it sit for at least 8 to 12 hours. Some cheesecakes might take longer, so if you need to serve it the next day, make sure to place it in the fridge at night so it can have enough time to thaw.
Conclusion
A lot of eggless cheesecake recipes are known to turn out dry, but if you follow the directions, this eggless cheesecake will turn out so creamy and smooth. You can serve it with some fresh fruits, or you serve it with some homemade chocolate sauce. You can easily make it by melting some chocolate with milk in a bain Mary. The combination of both ingredients though, will blow your mind.
