    This no bake peanut butter cheesecake is creamy, decadent, and vegan. It´s easy to make, lightly sweet, and perfect dessert recipe if you are a fan of peanut butter.

    Undoubtedly, this vegan peanut butter cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts. Not only because of the taste but also because it´s a no-bake cheesecake, and as the name says there´s no baking involved. No oven, no stove. Only the ingredients, an electric mixer, and a food processor. Using a food processor is not necessary either. Another way of making the crust is that you can use your hands to crumble the digestive cookies.

    Ingredients in a no bake peanut butter cheesecake


    • Digestive cookies: This makes the base of the cookie crust. You can also use graham cracker crumbs.
    • Vegan butter: Used in the base of the crust.
    • Whipping cream: I used Alpro cuisine soya. You can use any whipping cream you like. However, I would not recommend using coconut whipped cream. Use neutral-tasting whipped cream.
    • Coconut sugar: Coconut sugar is a must, as it has a caramel-like flavor. Therefore, do not substitute for other sugars.
    • Cream cheese: I used Oatlys Oat Spread.
    • Peanut butter: Creamy or crunchy, depending on your personal taste. However, I always use crunchy.
    • Peanuts and cacao nibs: to top your cheesecake and give it some crunch.

    How to make this recipe

    Tips for making this recipe perfectly


    • Taste and adjust, coconut sugar and peanut butter if needed. Depending on your personal taste, you may want to add more coconut sugar or peanut butter to your cheesecake.
    • Do not substitute coconut sugar for white sugar. Coconut sugar is caramel colored and tastes similar to brown sugar. It´s sweet and has a caramel essence, but is also slightly earthy.
    • Make sure there are no lumps of cream cheese left. If there are lumps keep beating until smooth.
    • Let the cheesecake thaw for at least 15 minutes before serving.
