Easy Strawberry Cheesecake Tarts for 2 with gluten-free Coconut oat crust. Vegan Gluten-free Recipe.
So I was thinking of making something spectacular, or vegan-izing some difficult to make vegan dishes. I tried a few times to make a vanilla souffle. It never really came out to be a souffle. but it was darn delicious. One of the results almost like a moist pound cake. ha!
I thought of pots de creme. The cream and egg filled baked up in a bath custardy thingamajig. Well, the filling of the cheesecakes will work as is for that. Just blend up, let it chill and serve. 🙂
I baked up this berry creamy filling into two 4.5 inch tarts. The smaller tarts are much easier to handle and the cheesecake filling does not need to bake for hours and is more forgiving. The tart crust and filling both can be made oil-free. The whole tart with the crust and the filling can be served up as is without baking as well. Omit the cornstarch and let it chill. Top with strawberries and other fruit and serve. The crust is a simple coconut oat crust with maple. Use any crust of choice like graham cracker crumbs and oil or a ginger snap crumb crust.
I baked the tarts to get the gorgeous purple color and a delicious treat for today. Well we actually ate both the tarts yesterday, so I might have to make something today. or pick up an awesome boston cream cake from Violet Sweet Shoppe in Seattle. I got one for a dinner last Monday. Gosh that cake was soo amazing!

Ingredients
Crust
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flakes

- 1 tsp oil
- a few drops of vanilla extract

- 1/3 cup firm tofu
- 1/4 cup cashews, soaked for an hour or more

- 1/2 tsp vinegar, I use apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
- Crust: Mix everything under crust in a bowl. Add enough maple so the dough can stay together. Press in the tart pans.
- Filling: Blend everything under filling. Taste and try to not eat it all. Adjust the salt, sweet and tang (lemon juice) if needed.
- Fill the crust wit the filling. Tap to eliminate air pockets. Place the tart pans on a baking sheet and bake at pre-heated 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, then reduce temperature to 325 degrees F / 160ºc and bake for another 15 minutes or until the center is not liquid.
- Chill for atleast an hour. Drizzle melted chocolate and serve with fresh chopped strawberries

Oh my goodness these looks delicious, I love tofu in desserts. I do try to avoid coconut though because I find it makes my throat a little itchy. Do you think you could just use all oat flour?
you can add a Tablespoon or so almond flour to add more texture and the rest as oat flour. also add a pinch of favorite spices or zest. Just Oat flour might taste too earthy 🙂
awesome thanks 🙂
Looks really delicious 🙂
oh my goodness, yum!
Vegan recipes have the best of both worlds – delicious and healthy. They have something in them that makes them a favorite. You can also give a try with the Swami Mami Tea because it is effective in detoxifying our body.
Looks absolutely delicious Richa!
I love making smaller tarts, especially mini cheesecakes! Look so delicious, richa!
Tres romantic!!

i wasnt a cheesecake lover in my pregan days. it would just be too heavy and stale most of the time. fresh home made no dairy version is far far better and i love it 🙂
