    Gingerbread cheesecake is a quick and easy vegan Christmas dessert recipe. This cheesecake is smooth and creamy with a delicious gingerbread flavor. The perfect dessert for the holiday season.

    What says it's a holiday season better than a gingerbread flavor. This gingerbread cheesecake recipe is a combination of two tasty flavors in one and is a perfect holiday dessert. And the best thing it's a no-bake cheesecake. I'm a huge fan of no-bake desserts. That means no baking involved. And prep time is often super short. It takes only 20 minutes to make this cheesecake. 

    INGREDIENTS IN A GINGERBREAD CHEESECAKE


    • Melted butter: Use dairy-free (vegan butter) for vegan cheesecake.
    • Heavy whipping cream: Use dairy-free. I used soy-based for this recipe.
    • Cream cheese: I used Oatlys (creamy oat spread). This is oat-based cream cheese. However, vegan sour cream is a good substitute.
    • Coconut sugar: For sweetness. I prefer coconut sugar because it's subtly sweet and with a slight hint of caramel. The taste is similar to brown sugar. I used coconut sugar, but feel free to use brown sugar instead.

    TIPS FOR MAKING THIS RECIPE PERFECTLY


    • To make sure you don't end up with lumpy batter, keep beating until stiff peaks form and the cheesecake filling is smooth, for a lump-free and creamy cheesecake.
    • Taste and adjust, adding more coconut sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, or cloves.
    • Let your cheesecake rest at room temperature to soften up before cutting for at least 15 minutes.
