Yummy Vegan Cheesecake

[KissMeKate]

This looks gorgeous!
I didn't even know vegans could eat anything remotely resembling cheesecake when I first switched over.
I MUST MAKE THIS.

Simple and it tasted really great. I made it even more simple by just buying a pre-made grahm cracker crust (most are vegan).

best vegan cheesecake i've made so far.

Made this last night and it was a hit.  We used a pre-made crust, no water with the egg replacer and 2 tbs. of lemon juice.  Topped it with raspberries and chocolate sauce.  We tried it after it sat for about 6 hours and it was fine, although I liked it better today ... it seemed firmer.  I thought the combination of flavors was wonderful.  My first bite made me smile.

Has anyone tried this in muffin cups without any crust? I want to make mini cheesecakes crust-free but I'm not sure how it will turn out.
Thanks in advance for any comments!

First posting to vegweb - hope this comes out ok!!  Anyway, sorry to sound daft but what size pan to cook this recipe in?  I've been vegan for 2 years and haven't found anything that tastes as good as this sounds (according to all the reviews!!)

Hi Alison1960! Traditionally speaking, cheesecakes are baked in a 9-inch springform pan (they look like these: http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=289683). Springform pans are awesome because after you bake and cool the cheesecake, you unhook the lever and the outside of the pan can be removed. However, if you use a storebought crust or don't own a springform pan, you can always bake it in a "regular" 9-inch pie pan. I hope that helps!

For some reason it puffed up and browned on the top...

I've never made cheesecake before, so this probably will sound dumb, but how do you make this a chocolate cheesecake? By adding cocoa powder? I'm just asking because it looks like in the pictures, a few people did that. Thanks!

To make the cheesecake chocolate, I kind of winged it. I added about 1/2 cup of melted chocolate chips and about 2-3tbs. of cocoa powder dissolved in a bit of hot water.

[cruelty_free]

oops... forgot to mention something. To make the chocolate version, you also want to omit the lemon juice. I added a very small amount, about 2 tsp. but it did taste a lil funny. I liked it but others thought it was strange that it was a bit tart.

I am planning to make this recipe  for my vegan mother in-law for Christmas.  I was wondering if there is a substitute that I can use instead of all-purpose flour. Since she doesn't use white flower.   Does anyone think it is possible to use brown rice flower as a substitute?

Does she use whole wheat flour?  If you got a w.w.pastry flour, I'm sure that'd work, but it's only 1 Tbs. so the rice flour should be fine, or whir up some oatmeal in a blender to make it really fine & that'd work, too.
