Charla/ That Girl Cooks Healthy
8-10 Slices

Ingredients
For the base:
- 2½ cups almond flour
- 5 tablespoon dairy-free butter melted
- 4 tablespoon powdered sugar
For the cheesecake filling:
- 12 oz vegan cream cheese
- 10.5 oz vegan white chocolate
- 1 cup guava puree
- ½ cup full fat coconut milk
- 4 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon agar agar powder, not the flakes, mixed with ¼ cup of warm water
For the topping:
- ¼ cup guava puree
Instructions
To make the base:
-
Line the base and perimeter of a 8” spring-form pan with parchment paper.
-
Place the almond flour, dairy free butter and powdered sugar in a bowl.
-
Use your hands or a pastry cutter to make a crumbly texture (it should be slightly sticky).
-
Once formed, pour the crumbs into the pan and use the back of a spoon to flatten the crumbs to form the cheesecake base.
-
If you want to bake the base, this is an optional step, do so on 350°F, 10-12 until slightly golden.
For the filling:
-
Break the white chocolate into pieces, and place in a medium sized heat proof bowl. Fill a saucepan (that is the same size of the bowl) half way with water and bring to the boil.
-
Once boiling, place the bowl of chocolate over the saucepan to create a makeshift double boiler, reduce the heat to medium and leave the chocolate to melt. (Do not stir the chocolate or it will ruin).
-
Place the cream cheese in a medium sized bowl and whisk with a hand mixer until smooth (don’t over mix) it should take less than 1 minute.
-
Pour and whisk in the full fat coconut milk and powdered sugar.
-
Pour the melted chocolate into the bowl and whisk until fully combined.
-
Add the guava puree then whisk until the mixture is smooth.
-
Scoop out a few tablespoons of the cheesecake filling and stir into the agar agar mixture
-
Stir the agar agar mixture into the cheesecake filling using a spoon.
-
Pour the filling onto the base of the cheesecake.
-
Spoon the remaining guava puree on top of the cheesecake in blobs then use a blunt knife to marble the puree using a back and fourth/side to side motion (don’t run the knife too deep, just less than an inch into the cheesecake is fine).
-
Carefully transfer the cheesecake into the freezer and leave to set overnight.
