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

DAIRY-FREE CHOCOLATE CREAMI RECIPE🍫 I’ve made DAIRY-FREE CHOCOLATE CREAMI RECIPE🍫 I’ve made this many many times to get it just right, and alas it is PERFECT. Date-sweetened, high protein, and soooooo creamy🍦 Add whatever mix-ins you love (chocolate chips, sprinkles, brownie chunks, cookie dough, m&ms, granola, etc.)

If you don’t have a Ninja Creami, I’ll pop the link to my blender chocolate soft serve recipe in my stories✌️

INGREDIENTS
1 cup (240g) cashew milk (or almond milk)
1/2 cup (120g) canned coconut milk
2 scoops (40g) chocolate protein powder (I use @sproutliving)
2-3 (65g) pitted medjool dates
2 tbsp (12g) cocoa powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: 1 tbsp (16g) chocolate @sunbutter, peanut butter, or tahini

Blend all the ingredients until smooth. Pour into a Creami container and freeze overnight. Process on the light ice cream setting, it will be powdery at this point. Add a splash of milk (preferably coconut) and re-spin once or twice as needed. Add mix-ins of choice, and process on the mix-in setting. Enjoy!

No-Churn Pistachio Ice Cream💚 A love it or hate No-Churn Pistachio Ice Cream💚 A love it or hate it flavor, but if you love it you will LOVE this recipe! Dairy-free, just 6 ingredients, and creamy as can be thanks to @edwardandsons Let’s Do Organic Heavy Coconut Cream🍨

INGREDIENTS
-1 cups (130g) raw pistachios, shells removed
-2 cans 13.5oz cans @edwardandsons Let’s Do Organic Heavy Coconut Cream
-1/3 cup (105g) maple syrup
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-1 tsp almond extract
-1/2 tsp salt
-Optional: 1/8 tsp spirulina or 1/4 tsp matcha powder for color

INSTRUCTIONS
Shake the coconut cream cans and pour the entire contents into a medium saucepan. Add pistachios, maple syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and simmer for 15 minutes stirring occasionally. It will thicken slightly and the pistachios will soften. Remove from heat, stir in the extracts, cool 10 minutes. Blend until very smooth.

Pour into a silicone ice cube tray and freeze overnight. The next day, blend the cubes with a splash of coconut cream until creamy. If you don’t have a blender with a tamper, I recommend using a food processor and stopping to scrape down the sides often. You will have a soft-serve consistency at this point.

Transfer to a loaf pan, freeze 30-60 minutes until it is scoop-able but not frozen solid. Then scoop and serve. Keep leftovers in the freezer, covered. To serve from fully frozen, thaw 30-45 minutes until soft enough to scoop.

If you have an ice cream maker: cool the mixture 1-2 hours after blending, then churn for 30-45 minutes

If you have a Ninja Creami: cool the mixture for 30 minutes, then pour into Creami containers and freeze overnight. Then process on the ice cream setting. If it comes out powdery, add a splash of coconut milk and re-spin 1 to 2 times

Copycat KUDOS GRANOLA BARS😋 a.k.a. really yummy Copycat KUDOS GRANOLA BARS😋 a.k.a. really yummy, chewy, easy, chocolate chip, chocolate dipped, granola bars!

INGREDIENTS
-4 cups (120g) crispy rice cereal
-2 cups (160g) quick oats
-2 14oz cans sweetened condensed coconut milk
-1/2 tsp salt
-3/4 cup (120g) mini chocolate chips
-1/2 cup (80g) chocolate chips, melted

Combine cereal, oats, and salt in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the sweetened condensed coconut milk to a simmer. Simmer and whisk until smooth and visibly thickened (8-10 minutes). Pour on top of the dry ingredients and mix until evenly coated. Set aside to cool about 10-15 minutes (IMPORTANT so you don’t melt the chocolate chips!)

Preheat the oven to 250°F. Fold in mini chocolate chips. Transfer mixture to a square baking dish (8×8”) lined with parchment paper, place a piece of wax paper on top, and use your hands or another pan to press in VERY firmly. Bake 1 hour at 250°F. Cool, then chill 4 hours (makes them easier to slice/coat). Lift out of the pan, slice into 10 bars.

Dip the bottom of each bar in melted chocolate, then place on wax paper to set. Drizzle the tops with more melted chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set.

EASY LINZER FLOWERS🌸 Perfect last minute baking EASY LINZER FLOWERS🌸 Perfect last minute baking for a mama you appreciate, or just a springy sweet treat for yourself too. With a raspberry pomegranate filling that is the perfect tart-sweet balance to these buttery cookies❤️

INGREDIENTS
-1/2 cup (113g) dairy-free butter, softened
-1/2 cup (110g) cane sugar
-2 tsps vanilla extract
-1 1/2 cups (180g) gluten-free or all-purpose flour
-3/4 cup (84g) almond flour
-Zest of one lemon
-1/4 tsp salt
-1 jar @stdalfourusa Raspberry & Pomegranate Fruit Spread
-Optional: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted for dipping/drizzling OR powdered sugar for dusting

In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or using a hand-mixer, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy (about two minutes). Add sugar and vanilla extract, beat again to combine. Place a mesh strainer on top of the bowl and measure out the flours and salt. Sift in all together, then add the lemon zest. Mix on medium speed to form a crumbly dough. 

Gently knead the dough into a ball. Roll out the dough between two sheets of wax paper to about 1/4 inch thickness. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut out using a linzer cookie cutter–half should be solid cookies, half should have the center punched out. Carefully transfer cookies to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 9-10 minutes, until golden brown around the edges. Let them cool 10 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. 

Flip over the solid cookies, and place a teaspoon of fruit spread on the center of each. Top with the cut-out cookies. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
