If you follow culinary trends, you've certainly heard of the viral Japanese cheesecake. While classic recipes rely on Greek yogurt, we go a step further and present a 100% plant-based version. This vegan Japanese cheesecake with chocolate has an incredibly velvety texture that literally melts in your mouth, and it only takes a few minutes to prepare.
It's a perfect alternative to traditional baked goods – no baking and no dairy, yet with plenty of plant-based protein. By using silken tofu, we achieve a texture identical to desserts like no-bake yogurt cake, but with higher protein content and a deeper flavor.
Peanoot Butter and crunchy topping
The main star of this recipe is our Peanoot Butter Good Noot spread. While standard peanut butters can be heavy, our 100% peanuts give the mixture a refined, velvety texture. Combined with dark chocolate and crunchy cookies, this healthy cheesecake in a cup becomes a dessert you won't forget.
Recipe for Vegan Japanese Cheesecake (2 servings)
Ingredients:
-
1 package silken tofu
-
3 tablespoons Peanoot Butter from Good Noot
-
3–4 tablespoons maple syrup
-
30g dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa)
-
5g coconut oil
-
60g vegan cookies
Method:
-
Cheesecake mixture: Transfer silken tofu to a blender. Add Peanoot Butter and maple syrup. Blend on high speed until you get a perfectly smooth, aerated mixture.
-
Assembling the dessert: Pour the ready mixture into two cups or glasses.
-
Crunchy addition: Stick halves of vegan cookies into the mixture – they will add texture and perfectly break the creaminess of the tofu.
-
Chocolate topping: Melt dark chocolate in a double boiler with coconut oil. Stir until the topping is shiny and uniform.
-
Chilling: Pour chocolate over the desserts, creating a thin layer (shell). Place the cups in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Done! After chilling, the chocolate should be crunchy, and the mixture underneath delicate and fluffy.
Why choose Peanoot Butter?
When creating healthy vegan desserts, ingredient quality is key. Our peanut butter contains no palm oil or unnecessary fillers – just and only 100% roasted peanuts in its composition – our artisans perfectly roasted and ground them into a velvety paste with a deep, peanut flavor.
