Instructions
- Make the crustPreheat the oven to 360ºF (180ºC). Line a 10-inch springform baking pan with your baking paper. Remember to brush the sides with vegan butter or margarine. Or use a non-stick cooking spray that's vegan.Then, combine all of the crust ingredients in a food processor. Pulse until you have a uniform crumb mixture. The texture should be somewhat fine.3 cups gluten-free oat flour, 1/3 cup light brown sugar, 2 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt flakes, 1/4 cup coconut oil, 6 tablespoons margarine, melted (or another type of vegan butter)
- Bake the crustPress the crust mixture into your lined springform pan. Use the back of a flat measuring cup or spoon to press the crust in tightly. If it's not compact, it will break apart easily. You can also press some of the crust up the sides of the springform pan.Bake the crust for about 8-10 minutes or until it has browned beautifully. Remove the crust from the oven and leave it to cool at room temperature.
- Make the vegan cheesecake fillingAdd the cream cheesecake to a large mixing bowl. Beat it until it becomes fluffy, creamy, and uniform in consistency. This will take about 3-4 minutes.Add the sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, salt, and lime juice. Mix them well so you distribute the ingredients evenly.Finally, whisk in the coconut cream. Slowly add it to prevent your cream cheese mixture from becoming lumpy.32 ounces Daiya Plain Cream Cheeze Spread, softened at room temperature, 3/4 cup granulated white sugar, 4 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, Pinch of sea salt flakes, Juice of 1 lime, 1 2/3 cups coconut cream, or another vegan cream, room temperature

Notes
You can make this recipe with brown rice flour or sorghum flour. We just prefer the flavor of oat flour with vanilla New York cheesecake.
Some vegans don't consider sugar as a "vegan-friendly" ingredient. You can also use Stevia, Agave Nectar, maple syrup, and fructose.
