Lemon Curd Vegan

Ingredients

  • 100 g white sugar
  • 15 ml cornstarch
  • 118 g non-dairy milk (such as soy or almond)
  • 61 g fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)

Instructions

  • In a small pot, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch. Now mix in the non-dairy milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and turmeric. Put over medium heat, whisking frequently, until the curd thickens, about 5 minutes. You may need to whisk vigorously as it thickens to ensure a smooth curd.

Lemon cheesecake vegan

I love cheesecake I love the texture the versatility and of course the fact its super easy to make.

When you make a cheesecake you would use a biscuit base, digestives, Oreo bi-scoff or graham crackers and then butter. Its very easy to make the base vegan All you need to do is check that your choice of biscuits are suitable for vegans I use Mcvities as i know these are vegan but you can use any any vegan biscuits you can find, and then always use flora as my butter replacement Use any just check for the label to insure its actually suitable as some margarine do have butter included

For the cheesecake you simply change out the cream cheese for vegan cream cheese and you need to find a good whipping cream suitable for vegans as an alternative you can use coconut cream however this will give you a coconut taste, to achieve similar texture to double cream

What is a vegan substitute for double cream?

For a vegan, dairy-free alternative to double cream, try mixing soy milk with olive oil. , olive oil adds fat to the soy milk for a flavor and function comparable to double cream.

 I use icing sugar in my cheesecakes, you have to be very careful with sugar in vegan cooking as many white sugars are not actually vegan believe it or not. I know that currently with brand Tate & Lyle all of its sugar is vegan.( correct as of Jan 22) you use the right one (I use Tate & Lyle), If you cant get a guaranteed from your normal brand simply make your own from raw cane sugar blended with a few spoons of corn flour.

topping

For the lemon topping I use my lemon curd recipe which is made completely vegan friendly. I will post the recipe here very soon. This recipe makes this lemon cheese cake to die for its super lemony and delicious.

For the Biscuit Base

For the Cheesecake

  • In a large bowl, or stand mixer, beat the vegan cream cheese and icing sugar, until thick and smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the vegan double cream to as stiff peaks. It wont whisk as much as regular double cream but it should mix into peaks. if you want to guarantee it will set try adding so vegan gelatin such as Agar-Agar, 
  • Add the vegan double cream to the cream cheese mixture and fold the mixture together until combined. Try to not over mix at this stage.
  • Once combined, add the cheesecake mixture to the top of the biscuit base making sure to pack the mix into the sides of the tin to prevent any air gaps, and set it in the fridge for 5-6 hours, or preferably overnight.

When you think about vegan cake, you might think it will be , crumbly and tasteless and some people are put off trying it. Unless asked I don’t mention that its vegan and my customers think its amazing. In my restaurant customers shy away from tasting vegan foods, I feel the misconception that vegan food is all lettuce and grains ,

The best ever vegan devils food chocolate cake.

This BEST vegan chocolate cake recipe is quick and easy with no unusual ingredients. So many of my customers love it regardless of it being a vegan cake.

When you think about vegan cake, you might think it will be dry, crumbly and somehow inferior to a typical chocolate cake filled with eggs and butter.

A moist eggless chocolate cake that’s also dairy-free.

ingredients

I love baking, but I hate it when I need to seek out expensive unusual ingredients

So, this vegan cake doesn’t need any unusual egg or dairy substitutes like flax

The most unusual ingredient is dairy free milk (oat, soy etc…), but you can pick that up at any shop or supermarket.

Instead of butter, I’ve used a vegan spread usually I choose flora however any margarine that is dairy free is also suitable.

Lemon juice – this will turn the milk into buttermilk.

Dairy free butter or margarine

Any vegan milk such as soy or almond

Golden syrup – if golden syrup is not available try corn syrup, agave etc… This adds sweetness and moisture.

Instant coffee powder / espresso powder – this is totally optional, but you can’t taste it and it brings out the flavor of the chocolate.

Flour Self raising flour if you cant get a hold of self raising bye all purpose and add in baking powder for structure and bulk.

Sugar – to sweeten the cake. I use granulated white sugar (double check that it’s safe for vegan).

Cocoa powder – Make sure you buy pure cocoa powder that contains no milk.

  • 300ml vegan milk (soy, almond etc…)
  •  275g Self raising flour
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar or white vinegar)
  • 150g vegan butter I use flora but any vegan spread works
  • 3 tablespoon golden syrup / corn syrup / agave/ maple syrup 
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules / espresso powder
  • ¾ cup (175g) sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda (bicarb of soda)

FOR THE VEGAN CHOCOLATE ICING

  •  (150g) vegan butter room temperature
  •  (400g) powdered icing sugar 
  • 8 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 tablespoons water

INSTRUCTIONS 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C/ 160°C fan/ Gas mark 4). Lightly grease 2 x 20cm/8inch round baking pans.
  • Stir the lemon juice (or vinegar) into the milk and set aside to thicken and ‘curdle’ slightly into buttermilk.
  • In a pot over a medium heat, melt the butter, syrup and coffee (if using) together. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder and baking soda into a large mixing bowl and whisk together.
  • Pour the milk and melted margarine mixture over the flour mixture and stir well until it becomes a smooth batter.
  • Divide the mixture between the two prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until an inserted skewer or toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow the cakes to cool in the tins for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, to make the icing beat together all ingredients until smooth.
