Simple but elegant No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake!
It’s that time of year when I start rolling out the No Bake Desserts!
Bonus: This one is also nut free!
Many people ask me why I rarely use cashews in my no bake desserts since they are so good for creamy stable desserts.
Well for one reason, they are so expensive!
Secondly I know several people who are allergic to cashews so I try to stay away from them.
While I do love the cashew based cakes this one is unique and tastes just like cheesecake!
And because it is no bake you can use any brand of vegan cream cheese that you like!

Notes for Success:
Many have asked what to use instead of white chocolate in this recipe and since it is a crucial ingredient I would recommend to make my other recipe instead CLICK HERE
A spring form pan with no bottom inserted can be used if you do not have a ring mold like I used in the video
For those who want extra blueberry compote to go on each slice of cheesecake, just double the blueberries and sugar part of the recipe below and reserve half of it for the topping
You can use any brand cream cheese you prefer since this is a no bake recipe
Agar is a very sensitive ingredient that when measured improperly it can be the difference between a creamy luscious slice of cheesecake and a hunk of inedible rubber on your plate!
Please read all about agar in the article below before proceeding!
I typically use 900 strength in my recipes SPECIFICALLY THIS BRAND BY Landor Trading Co *not sponsored
Lactic acid is another crucial ingredient that transforms our vegan desserts into authentic tangy cheesecakes!
If you cannot get it you can sub in apple cider vinegar instead
