Ingredients
- Dairy free cream cheese
- Raspberry puree
- Orange juice
- Almond milk
- Graham cracker crumbs
- Coconut oil
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Gather the dairy-free cream cheese, raspberry puree, orange juice, almond milk, graham cracker crumbs, and coconut oil. Ensure that the dairy-free cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of dairy-free cream cheese with 1/2 cup of raspberry puree. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add 1/4 cup of orange juice to the cream cheese and raspberry mixture. Mix well until fully incorporated. The orange juice will add a refreshing citrus flavor that complements the raspberry.
- Next, gradually pour in 1/4 cup of almond milk while mixing continuously. This will help achieve a lighter texture for the cheesecake filling. Continue to mix until the filling is smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the crust by combining 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs with 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with the coconut oil, creating a crumbly texture.
- Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan or a pie dish to form an even crust. Use the back of a measuring cup or your fingers to ensure the crust is compact and holds together.
- Once the crust is ready, pour the raspberry cream cheese filling over the crust. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the top.
- For an added touch, you can swirl in some extra raspberry puree on top of the filling using a toothpick or a knife, creating a marbled effect.
- Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set. If you're short on time, you can serve it immediately, but chilling will enhance the flavors and texture.
- Once set, remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator. Carefully release the springform pan or slice it if using a pie dish.
- Slice into 8 servings and enjoy your delicious no-bake raspberry creamsicle cheesecake! You can garnish with fresh raspberries or a drizzle of additional raspberry puree if desired.
Tips
- • Temperature Matters: Ensure your dairy-free cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth, lump-free mixing. • Crust Perfection: Press the graham cracker crust firmly and evenly to create a solid base that won't crumble. • Chilling is Key: While you can serve immediately, refrigerating for at least 2 hours will enhance flavors and texture. • Swirl Technique: When adding raspberry puree swirls, use a toothpick or knife for a professional marbled effect. • Garnish Options: Elevate your presentation with fresh raspberries, a drizzle of puree, or a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs. • Make Ahead: This dessert can be prepared a day in advance, making it perfect for entertaining. • Dairy-Free Flexibility: Feel free to experiment with different non-dairy milk alternatives if almond milk isn't your preference.
