Since Valentine is on its way, I kept thinking about something sweet but healthy. Hence this light vegan cheesecake seemed perfect for me. It takes only 10-12 minutes and there are no skills needed. So in case you are still in need for something really quick, easy and delicious go ahead and make you and your Valentin happy :).
I love using Aquafaba, it’s the key ingredient for a light and fluffy texture. But don’t worry it works without it as well. Let me know in the comments, if you have any questions about the recipe, there are many options to replace ingredients in case you don’t have them or simply don’t like them .

Annelina!! You know how much I love cheesecakes and you even made it into a heart shape 🙂 🙂 Love the recipe, so simple! What kind of vegan quark do you use? Not sure if we have any here..do you think vegan yogurt would work too? LOTS of love to you and thank you for sharing this cute and sweet treat 🙂
Tiina my friend! Yeees, and I am so glad you like the heart, and the recipe. Thank you so much. I use Provamel. I’m pretty sure it works with yoghurt too but you might have to add one tsp more starch to make it thicker. Or you can use only silken tofu. It’s just a different taste but yummy too. Thank you so much and I’m sending you a huge hug, and love xX! Hope you had a wonderful VDay!
So eine tolle Idee und dein Kuchen sieht echt wunderschön aus! Ich wette der hat auch ganz cremig und lecker geschmeckt. Sende dir ganz liebe Grüße 🙂
Oh danke meine liebe ELa! Ja er schmeckt wunderbar und ist so schnell gemacht. Ich schicke dir ebenfalls ganz viele liebe Grüße! xX Annelina
