My love for cheesecakes came through my mother. We love watching Golden Girls (yes, I watch Golden Girls and love it) and while we watch, we are known for enjoying, you guessed it, a good slice of cheesecake. We’ve built so many fond memories over a slice, or two, of smooth and creamy cheesecake. Oh, yes!
But once I was diagnosed as Lactose Intolerant, it seemed nearly impossible to enjoy that so-loved dessert of ours. So many changes and so many delicious used-to-be favorites now gone. I had to adapt to a whole new lifestyle. So lately, I’ve spent my free time trying new dairy free recipes and testing for the best ones. Tweaking them here and there until we find the ones that hit the right note.
Not long ago I shared a Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Mini Cheesecakes recipe that if you haven’t tried, you just have to. It’s amazing and no baking required. We used cashews and other nuts to make a sweet, portable cheesecake treat. Knowing that so many of you out there may be sensitive to nuts, we went on the search for a more simple and nut free option, and we found it.
Now, you don’t have to be lactose intolerant to enjoy this amazing treat! The whole family enjoyed it and I’m sure you will too. We can’t stop eating and we’re ok with it.
Here’s a tip I’m sure some of you will enjoy. If you desire the vegan route, the best substitute for each egg would be ¼ a cup of vegan yogurt of your choice.
What are you waiting for? Go on and make this dairy free cheesecake, it’s the best one out-there after all! Give it a try and let me know what’s your favorite cheesecake flavor combination. Share in the comments below!
Hi! I’m Paloma, CCC (Creative Content Creator) for My Sweet Zepol. I’m a college student, love the outdoors – especially if it includes water – and experimenting with new things; whether it’s new classes or new recipes. You’ll find me enjoying a slice of cake or ice cream while brainstorming the next fashionable outfit or post ideas.
I love that this is dairy free. My Mom can’t have dairy anymore and misses her cheesecakes. I’ll have to make this for her!
Dairy Free cheesecake with 8T of butter. Why didn’t I think of that? Does it come from dairy free cows?
This looks absolutely delicious. make me very hungry now.
What a great recipe and perfect that it is dairy free. I had no idea cheesecake could be made this way and it’s a recipe I’m going to add to my list of “must tries”. Thanks for sharing!
I need to buy this cream cheese. I love that I can have cheesecake again.
Okay, I am crying!! I love cheesecake but dairy does not agree with me. I never heard of almond cream cheese. I just pinned this post and will be making it soon. Very soon!
It sure looks like one of the best in all the ones I have seen. Looks very soft and perfect.
I’m interested in making this. If I substitute splenda for sugar, does the taste change dramatically? Any other ideas for a sugar substitute for this recipe?
I believe Splenda is a wonderful substitute for this recipe and using that sugar instead of plain sugar shouldn’t change the taste.
Yumm. Me and my daughter loves Cheesecake. And this one looks so yummy.
i really like this cheesecake recipe, i normally opt for the no-bake variety when making cheesecake but would really like to give this a try thanks for the wonderful dairy-free recipe, i’m lactose interpolant so i know the importance of dairy free recipes.
Same here; I’m always on the hunt for the next great (dairy-free) dessert that anyone can bake, or chill, and enjoy!
I like cheesecake so much but I’m quite struggling with baking. Would love to try this!
I didn’t know there was such as thing as almond milk cream cheese – i can’t wait to try some with this recipe 🙂
Isn’t butter a dairy product? I don’t have problem with it, just curious. Otherwise this is a delicious recipe worth trying.
Believe it or not, stick butter is actually dairy free in most cases. Knowing this I didn’t have a problem when devouring this cheesecake (as I can’t tolerate milk products very well), but you can always use coconut oil instead, it still would work as an amazing “glue” of sorts!
1. Golden Girls is amazing and I am so glad you referenced it! 2. I used to ask for cheesecake instead of a traditional birthday cake as a child. Mmm…
This looks lovely! I don’t like milk so this is perfect for me! Going to try this out soon.
for a high school student, you’re definitely doing great in baking! Loving your cheesecake 🙂
Thank you so much! I guess you can say it runs in my blood 🙂
I love cheesecake! I need to opt for this version instead because it’s much healthier. It looks amazing.
It looks amazing! I can’t wait to try this with my mom. She LOVES cheescake.
My daughter is lactose intolerant and it has been so hard to find her yummy desserts that don’t have some form of dairy. I can’t wait to make this for her!
I completely understand! I have been experimenting left and right trying to find dairy-free alternates to my old favorites, like cheesecake. I hope you come and stick around to see the many more dairy-free desserts I test and find amazing! 🙂
Those raspberries look so good… too bad it’s not the season for them!
I’ve always been a fan of cheesecake! This looks wonderful. I’m always up for trying dairy-free options because my husband and daughter are lactose. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Hi! This recipe looks wonderful. I have a few questions… What size springform pan did you use? Also, if I omit the crust, do you think the cheesecake will be sweet enough with 1/2c sugar? I am thinking of using the base for a savory cheesecake too.
Hi Al I used a 9 x 2.7 inch springform pan. I will update the recipe as well so it includes this information. The cheesecake on its own is absolutely delicious and yes, sweet enough. I like your idea for a savory cheesecake.
I am so excited to find this recipe. Our grandsons cant have dairy. One, unfortunately cant have wheat either, so I am racking my brain thinking of a crust I could make. They can have corn, and I use King Arthur flour paleo flour to bake. Can you think of any sub for the crust? They can have kix cereal, so I was thinking of that. Cant use butter to bind it though.
