Vegan Chocolate Cheesecake – VIDEO RECIPE BELOW
Vegan Chocolate Cheesecake
Ingredients
Crust:
- 120 g cocoa biscuits
- 3 Tbsps coconut oil melted
Cream:
- 400 ml coconut milk canned, full fat, the thick kind not the beverage
- 200 g dark chocolate I used Nestle Dessert Noir
Topping:
- berries of choice chocolate, pomegranates, mint, whatever you like
Instructions
- Put the biscuits in a food processor or blender and pulse 2-3 times until they have the consistency of breadcrumbs.
- Move them to a bowl and pour the melted coconut oil or coconut butter. Mix.
- In a large bowl, add the coconut milk. Mix well using a hand mixer, for about 5 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate. You can simply melt it by putting it into an oven-proof bowl and placing it into the heated oven.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the coconut milk. Mix well.
- Use some mini-cake tins or metal rings like I did (See video above). Place these on a plate and add 2-3 tablespoons of the crust mixture. Press it gently on the bottom.
- Pour in the chocolate cream.
- Place in the fridge for 1-2 hours, until it gets firm.
- Serve with strawberries, pomegranates and more chocolate on top.

Does it have to be served cold? Does it melt at room temp?
It doesn’t melt at room temp but it gets softer if left unrefrigerated for a long time.
Can I substitute the chocolate with something else? Like carob flour
You’ll have to add carob + coconut oil or cocoa butter to act the same as chocolate. Chocolate when it cools down it solidifies again ad this is important in this recipe.
Truly a nice recipe. Especially the idea of a vegan cheese cake. But please folks inform about the products you use either NESTLE is The Hell of a company. Any good approach is going to dirt when using any of their products.
Hi! Do you know if this can be frozen? Thanks! Jen
Hi, Jen. I don’t know, it never lasted too long in my fridge, but you can give it a try.
It sound great!One question:do you add only the thick part of the coconut Milk or even the water left at the bottom of the can?Thanks!
Leave the can in the fridge before using. When cold it has more of the thick part than liquid. I usually add just the thick part if there is too much liquid. Always use coconut milk with high fat percentage.
Hi!! Does it taste like coconut?
Not at all! 🙂 Give it a try, you’ll love it, I promise! 🙂
Hi can I use cocoa powder instead of bar chocolate? Thanks!
Unfortunately, no. Chocolate also has cocoa butter in it. You could use cocoa butter + cocoa, however, I cannot estimate the exact quantities. It’s best to use chocolate.
Haven’t tried it yet, but it sound delicious, and really easy and simple 😀 I just wonder why you call it cheesecake? Isn’t it more like a moussecake with that recipe or does it get a cheesecake flavor despite the ingredients 🙂
You’re right! 😀 I didn’t think moussecake was a thing when I made it so I thought cheesecake is the closest type of recipe to this. 😀
Doubled the quantities and made a large cake for my husband’s birthday. It was mindblowing!!! The guests loved the extra-smooth rich chocolate texture and I can’t believe I made his cake in under 30 minutes of prep time! Thank you, Ruxandra!
Oh, YUM! Sounds delicious! Never thought about making it into a birthday cake but why not?! Sounds like a great idea and I’m happy to hear your guests loved it!
This was SO good! Loved it! And only 4 ingredients… I was amazed! Thank you, Ruxandra!
You’re welcome! 😀
