Vegan Marshmallow Cheesecake

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This is a bit of a deviation from my usually tutti fruity style.  Why the detour?  Well Chocolate Covered Katie inspired me with her question of the day a few weeks ago: “What would be your dream cheesecake flavor?” Instantly marshmallow cheesecake came into my mind.  I made it, and then I tasted it, and it was so amazing it felt wrong to keep it a secret.  So I am sharing with you this very sticky and sweet indulgence.

It’s not raw, but it is vegan.  And it is really easy to make…like 3 ingredients + a crust easy.  And no baking is required. Oh and it’s addictive too.

When I became vegan it wasn’t cheese or butter or ice-cream that I missed the most.  It was gelatin-based things like jello and gummies and marshmallows.  Luckily Dandies has vegans covered on the marshmallow thing.  I haven’t yet figured out how to make a raw marshmallow, but don’t think I haven’t tried…and will keep trying.marshmallow-cheesecake.jpg

Ingredients

Scale
  • CRUST
  • 1 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil (warmed to a liquid)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • FILLING
  • 2 cups vegan marshmallows (I used about 24 Dandies Marshmallows)
  • 1 package silken tofu (12 oz)
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil (warmed to a liquid)

Instructions

  1. FOR THE CRUST: Process the oats in the food processor until they are in crumb-sized pieces. Add the remaining ingredients for the crust, and process until combined. It should be moist and stick together when squeezed.
  2. Press the crust into a 6″ springform pan. Refrigerate.
  3. FOR THE FILLING: Melt the marshmallows in the microwave. Keep an eye on them because they will puff up and over the top of the bowl. Just stop and give them a stir so they deflate.
  4. Process the silken tofu in the food processor until smooth.
  5. Add the melted marshmallows and coconut oil to the food processor, and process until smooth.
  6. Pour on top of the crust and refrigerate overnight.
  7. Run a dull knife around the edge of the pan to loosen it before releasing the spring. Slice and eat.

    Marshmallows are my super unhealthy weakness. I made a deal a little while back that I won’t buy or make recipes with them until I discover a way to make my own healthy ones… But I miss them SOOOO much 🙂 When I was a kid I’d go through bags at a time {and then feel super… erm..awesome… 😉 } This looks dreamy!

      I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve tried making my own vegan marshmallows and failed epically! One time the pot was so encrusted with hardened burned sugar it had to soak for like 2 hours before I could manage to scrub it clean!! If you can figure it out than I will dub you a marshmallow genius!!

      And yes marshmallows are my weakness too, I know that tummy-full-of-marshmallow feeling all to well. I used to eat whole bags of them too…I even ate whole bags of Dandies until I went soy-free 🙁

        Yes, my experiments so far have all been complete flunks. Cleaning disasters aside — my worst failed attempt ended up being a bunch of green fishy-smelling substance lol. I’ll explain how this happened one day when I arrived at a successful batch… 😉 #thingsthatkeepmeupatnight…

        Omg it turned out amazing! I used vegan graham crackers crushed with almond milk for crust and the coconut butter in place of the oil made it so rich and delicious! I went full on s’mores cheesecake by adding some melted chocolate on the top! Pure indulgence! Thank you so much for all of your wonderful and healthy vegan recipes! <3

Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free whi Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free white chocolate and this is DEFINITELY one of them🤎🤍 That decadent chocolate + peanut butter + coconut middle 1000% deserves the creamy coating and sprinkle finish, trust me💗 Recipe below…

Vegan White Chocolate Valentine’s Truffles
-1 package @emmysorganics Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies
-1/4 cup (65g) almond or peanut butter
-1/3 cup (60g) dark chocolate chips, melted
-Pinch of salt
-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-8oz vegan white chocolate.
-Optional: natural pink sprinkles + 1/4 cup more melted dark chocolate for topping

Melt the white chocolate. Pour a small spoonful into the bottom of each cavity of the mold, and tilt to coat the bottom and up the sides of each heart. Freeze. Set aside the remaining white chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate chips. In a food processor combine the Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies, almond/peanut butter, melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Process until smooth, it should be the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Place about 2 tsps of the chocolate mixture into each heart and press to flatten. Cover with remaining melted white chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set. Carefully remove from the molds. Optionally drizzle with more dark chocolate and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!

Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyy Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyyyy too many medjool recipes on the blog to mention, so I picked this friday-easy, highly-fudgy, personal fave: No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend almonds, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the coconut oil. Blend until the texture is moist and crumbly. Press into the bottom of a pie pan and up the sides.

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Channeling sweet summer energy into this chilly wi Channeling sweet summer energy into this chilly winter week with a Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bar closeup🍫❤️ Swap in any berry you love (big big fan of the tart raspberry tang though😋), but you need a bite of this lush dairy-free filling on top of @emmysorganics dark cacao cookie crust situation.

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
