Vegan Eggnog Cheesecake
I’ve recently been on a eggnog kick and exploring countless concepts as I never get to every year. I swear, before I know it the few weeks leading up the all the celebrations is here and gone and I’m left with endless recipe I didn’t get to lol.
Well, not this year!
Eggnog is one of those things you either love or hate. My husband never even tried it until I exposed him to it and he wasn’t a huge fan. So in many ways it’s an aqcuired taste just like everything else. Whether I enjoy it as much as I did as a kid, the flavor is just nostalgic for me and captures the essence of christmas! That being said, I wanted to whip up a few desserts featuring this famous flavor and the vegan Eggnog Cheesecake
While I’ve never even had a non vegan eggnog cheesecake, I was intrigued by the concept and thought it would be a fun modern dessert, and I was right!
What’s fab about this dessert, is everything! It’s quick, easy, featured minimal ingredients, tons of eggnog flavor, the perf crust, healthy fats and protein with the cashews, a whipped like texture, and perf for holiday entertaining!

Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 ½ cups vegan graham cracker crumbs
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar
- 6 tbsps vegan butter, melted
Filling:
- 1/2 cup vegan eggnog

Instructions

- Make the filling: Throw all the ingredients in the food processor or blender, and blend until smooth. Pour into the crust and chill in the fridge for a few hours or ideally overnight. Top with vegan coconut whip and nutmeg and serve! It holds shape, but I’d refrigerate when not being served!

I was wondering if you have a preferred brand of vegan egg not you us. Most stuff available is too sweet.
Hi Sara! Absolutely! I used the Califia Farms brand and I found it to be not overwhelming. Let me know how this recipe turns out!
I don’t know what I did wrong but my cheesecake turned into a huge mess! I’ve been cooking and baking Vegan, Gluten Free for years. I followed recipe to the “T” The coconut oil separated and everything else was all liquid. It never became creamy. I baked the crust as suggested and the vegan butter dripped through the springform pan and smoked up the house. I’m sorry but I think you should know. I wonder if anyone else had these issues.
