Ingredients

Scale

For the Cinnamon-Sugar Crust

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/3 cup plant-based butter

For the Creamy Filling

  • 2 cups plant-based cheese
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent

For the Final Touch

  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cinnamon-Sugar Crust: Combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the plant-based butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press this mixture evenly into the base of a springform pan, making sure the crust reaches the edges for a crispy texture.
  2. Make the Creamy Filling: In a large bowl, beat the plant-based cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), blending thoroughly. Incorporate the natural gelling agent carefully to ensure the filling sets perfectly once chilled.
  3. Assemble and Chill: Pour the creamy filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight to let the cheesecake firm up and the flavors meld.
  4. Add the Final Cinnamon-Sugar Touch: Before serving, sprinkle a fresh layer of cinnamon and sugar on top to add signature churro crunch and an inviting aroma.

Notes

  • Chill your mixing bowl before whipping the plant-based cheese to keep it extra creamy.
  • Press the crust evenly using the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to avoid thin or burnt edges.
  • Allow the cheesecake to set fully in the refrigerator for the best texture.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the fridge 30 minutes before serving for a creamier bite.
  • Use freshly ground cinnamon for the most vibrant flavor.
