Expert Baking Tips for this gluten free blueberry cheesecake recipe
Although the recipe for this blueberry streusel cheesecake recipe is super easy, here are just a few expert tips i'd recommend:
- Blend your biscuit base until it reaches a wet sand like texture this will ensure the base holds shape and doesn't crumble when sliced.
- For this vegan blueberry cheesecake no-bake recipe I used Nooj cashew paste but Nooj almond paste will also work well here.
- To add some extra crunch to your crumble top, save some of your biscuit base and add it to your crumble.

Ingredients list for the gluten free blueberry cheesecake recipe
Gluten free blueberry cheesecake recipe ingredients:

- Vegan butter- You can use either vegan block butter or margarine.
- Vegan cream cheese cheese - Essential for any cheesecake
- Caster sugar - This is a very refined sugar, refined granulated sugar also works well here.
- Gluten free plain flour - Be careful not to use self raising flour here as we dont want the crumble to raise/be cakey.
- Cashew paste - I used Nooj cashew paste you just simply need to squeeze it into the rest of the ingredients.
