        Expert Baking Tips for this no bake cheesecake with strawberries

        Although the recipe for this simple vegan chocolate tart is super easy, here are just a few expert tips i'd recommend:

        • Ensure your dates are relatively soft before blending, if your dates are tough soak them in water for around ½ hr then drain and add to the rest of the ingredients.
        • I used Nooj Cashew paste for this tart.
        • Make sure to drain your tofu to remove any excess water, as any added extra liquid will ruin the consistency of the tart.

        Ingredients list for this vegan chocolate strawberry cheesecake recipe

        For this tart you will need:

        • Caster Sugar - This is just a very refined sugar if you can’t find it refined granulated sugar will work well here too. 
        • Dates - If you find that your dates are quite tuff, soak them in water in ½ hour to soften them before blending with the other ingredients.
        • Almond Butter - Any other nut butter will work well here, but not the runny kid, it should be relatively thick.
        • Silken firm tofu - You want to use silken tofu here rather than regular, as it will produce a more smooth mousse-like texture.

        Cashew paste is a game changer for any no-bake tart.

        I used Nooj cashew paste and it has worked so well for me. Best of all you can now get your own in Sainsburys!

        No bake strawberry chocolate tart recipe

        Step by step instructions for this vegan chocolate raspberry tart recipe

        Begin by making the tart base. Simply blend all the base ingredients together in a food processor until it comes together. Then press into a greased tart tin and set aside while you make the mousse filling.

        For the mousse filling, cream together the cashew paste, almond butter, tofu, sugar and cocoa powder until smooth. Then pour the mousse filling on top of the base and set in the fridge while you make the ganache.

        Ganache is essentially a combination of equal parts chocolate to cream which you'll need to heat together for 30second intervals until it's thick and glossy. Then mix in a couple of drops of red food gel until you reach your desired color.

        Then add a drop of strawberry extract, as this is quite strong you don't need very much. Pour the glaze over the set tart and set in the fridge for a further 15-25 mins.

        Decorate with some berries, I used blueberries, strawberries and pomegranate. Then slice and enjoy.

        Non-vegan alternative

        If you don't want to make this tart vegan simply substitute the vegan double cream for normal double cream and the vegan chocolate for regular white chocolate.

        Yes you can, this tart can last up to 2 weeks in the freezer. But you must remember to cover the tart in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in cling film/plastic wrap.

        What type of chocolate can vegans eat ?

        For this tart, I used vegan white chocolate, which I got from the free from isle in ASDA (UK) but they are being sold in nearly every grocery store worldwide. If you can’t find some near you, then I’d recommend Amazon Pantry.

        2. Place in the fridge and allow the tart to thaw overnight (6-8 hours), leaving pie wrapped.

          It's amazing that this is gluten-free and Vegan. Love the use of the cashew paste and almond butter paired with the tofu. My Manager who is Vegan made me a cheesecake using tofu; it was actually eatable. Love the red-colored white chocolate on top; it does leave an interesting appeal. Thanks for sharing.
