This vegan cheesecake is so rich, so creamy, you'd never guess it was dairy-free! Made with a vegan graham cracker crust and decadent cashew filling, this scrumptious dessert will blow your mind!
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Stir the graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar together in a large mixing bowl.
Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a springform pan (7 to 9 inches in diameter).
Place the pan into the oven and bake the crust until lightly browned at the edges, about 10 minutes.
Transfer the pan to a cooling rack when done.
While the crust bakes and cools, place all ingredients* for the filling into a blender or the bowl of a food processor fitted with an s-blade.
Blend until smooth.
Pour the batter into the crust.
Cover and place the entire cheesecake into the refrigerator and chill until the filling has set, which should take about 4 hours.
Carefully release the cheesecake from the pan. Slice and serve.
* If you're not using a high-powered blending device, you may want to start by blending just the cashews and yogurt to a paste, then adding the remaining ingredients and blending again.
