Equipment

  • 1 x 7 inch springform pan

Ingredients
 
 

For crust

  • 4 ounces gluten-free honey graham crackers
  • 4 tablespoons vegan butter or melted refined coconut oil

For filling

  • 3 teaspoons gelatin powder approx. 1 packet and slightly more
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 8 ounces dairy-free cream cheese I like Violife brand
  • ½ cup organic cane sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

For topping (optional)

  • Fresh raspberries

Instructions
 

  • Place the graham crackers in an airtight bag and crush until fine. Pour in the melted butter (or coconut oil) and let it blend into the crackers.
  • Spread the cracker mix at the bottom of a lined springform pan and press down using fingers or the bottom of a dry measuring cup. Let sit in the fridge while you work with the filling.
  • In a small microwave safe cup, combine the gelatin and water together and whisk with a fork immediately. Set aside.
  • Place the cream cheese in a microwavable bowl. Microwave in 10 seconds increments until very soft. Alternatively, soften over a double boiler.
  • Add sugar into cream cheese and mix well.
  • Mix in the yogurt and lemon juice. Stir well.
  • Microwave the gelatin + water mix (from step 3) in 10 seconds increments until the gelatin is completely melted. Pour the mix into the cream cheese mix, whisking at the same time.
  • Pour the cream cheese filling over the prepared crust. Refrigerate for 4+ hours.
  • Top with berries upon serving.

Notes

*You may use 6-inch springform pan as well. The cake with come out taller.
