Who does not love a traditional New York Cheesecake ? Plus with a healthy berry topping? Yummm! I could not stop eating the raw filling haha oops! It is super easy to bake and not to forget to mention, its vegan =)

Baking Time: 60 minutes | Preparation: 20 minutes

INGREDIENTS

For the bottom:

300 grams flour
120 grams vegan margarine (ie. Earth Balance)
70 ml maple syrup (or any zero calorie sweetener)
1 pkg baking powder
3 -5 tbsp water

For the filling:

700 ml (Albro) Soy Yoghurt Natural
120 grams vegan margarine (ie. Earth Balance)
40 grams of corn starch
70 ml maple syrup (or any zero calorie sweetener)
fresh lemon juice
fresh lemon peel

For the topping:

(frozen) mixed berries
1-2 tbsp maple syrup (or any zero calorie sweetener)
lemon juice

For the bottom, mix all ingredients together till you get a nice ball of dough. Take a round baking form for the cheesecake. Cut out a circle from an parchment paper for the bottom and cover the sides of the form with a thin layer of margarine. Preheat oven to 180 degrees. With your hands and fingers press the dough into the pan, as well up on the sides for a “wall”.

For the filling, mix all ingredients together will you get a nice, smooth, well-blended texture. Fill it into the baking form and put the cake in the oven for about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, you can prepare the topping and blend the berries, lemon juice and maple syrup till you get a nice berry sauce. Let the sauce trip through a strainer, so all the pits and seeds are removed.
