How to Prepare No-Bake Strawberry Lemon Cheesecake With Pretzel Crust [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment.
  2. Add the pretzels to a food processor and process until fine. Add the coconut sugar and coconut oil and pulse until mixture comes together. Press into the bottom of the springform pan firmly. Set in the refrigerator to chill at least 20 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, cream together the cheesecake ingredients until smooth. Once crust has chilled for 20 minutes, spread cheesecake base over the crust. Set in the refrigerator to set for at least 1 hour.
  4. While cheesecake is setting, add the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice to a medium saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat until berries begin to break down and sugar has dissolved. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and cool.
  5. When cheesecake is ready to be served, top each slice with strawberry topping and extra lemon zest, if desired.

  1. Uh… you forgot the strawberries in the ingredient list. How many to add? And given that they’re turned into a sauce, would using frozen strawberries be ok here? Thx!
