Time to go bananas! This luscious baked banana cheesecake is vegan, oil-free and sweetened with coconut sugar & maple syrup. And above all, it's super tasty.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n With this recipe, I took a big risk. On the one hand, it was my first try making a baked vegan cheesecake. On the other hand, a banana-flavoured baked vegan cheesecake could be either pretty amazing or completely unedible. Luckily, the first was true and I can say, I am pretty stoked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n So what do you need for a good vegan cheesecake? I guess \"cheese<\/strong>\" says it all. Of course, I went with my (unsalted) vegan cream cheese<\/a> as a base. If you want to make the cake right away, you can probably swap it for store bought vegan cream cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, there is silken tofu. It brings a bit of lightness <\/strong>and also adds to the cheesecake texture<\/strong>. Same is true for the coconut yogurt. I guess you could also go for a thick coconut milk, but I prefer the tangy taste of the yogurt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, a baked vegan banana cheesecake would't be a banana cheesecake without bananas ( - never used the word \"banana\" that often in one sentence before!). I decided to caramelize <\/strong>the bananas before adding it to the mixture - without oil, I have to add. The entire recipe is actually oil-free<\/strong> (unless you garnish the cheesecake with a few banana chips, as they usually contain oil).<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more sweetness I used coconut sugar, which also enhances the caramelized flavor <\/strong>of the bananas. The crust is a pretty simple combination of walnuts ('cause banana + walnuts = yum!), oats and maple syrup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now it's time to test your patience. One hour in the oven plus cooling time. For me, it was pretty tough. But let me tell you, you forget about all that once you take the first bite!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I hope you\u2019ll give this vegan baked banana cheesecake a try.
