GLUTEN-FREE VEGAN CHEESECAKE TART WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE CREAM

Gluten-free vegan cheesecake tart with white chocolate cream

Collaboration with Virtasalmen Viljatuote. I am in heaven! This gluten-free vegan cheesecake tart with white chocolate cream is my current favorite cheesecake. It is oh so creamy and full of amazing flavor with a delicious gluten-free crust made from high quality gluten-free all purpose flour, a lush cream cheese layer and heavenly white chocolate cream. This is a perfect tart for all kinds of spring celebrations!

Gluten-free vegan cheesecake tart with white chocolate creamMy mom has had coeliac disease for over 20 years now, and we’ve been experimenting with a variety of flours over the years. A few years ago my mom started baking with Virtasalmen Viljatuote flours and that’s when I began using them too because I was and still am so impressed with the results. So it’s been a joy working with Virtasalmen Viljatuote this year creating delicious gluten-free recipes!

Gluten-free vegan cheesecake tart with white chocolate creamThe best gluten-free flour mixes

Virtasalmen Viljatuote flours work in both savory and sweet baking, and you can trust that the end result is going to taste delicious. They manufacture 8 different gluten-free flour mixes and all of them are:

  • Manufactured in Finland
  • Gluten-free & vegan
  • Preservative-free
  • Additive-free
  • Wheat starch free
  • GMO-free
  • Nut-free

There are a few tips and tricks to making gluten-free goods taste yummy. One of the first things is actually already solved by Virtasalmen Viljatuote: you get better results when combining two to three (sometimes even four) different flours. These ready made flour mixes also contain psyllium, which makes the dough rise better and / or makes it fluffier.

So now that you have your gluten-free flour mix, there are still a few tricks to know: One of the most important things is that you have to be careful with the amount of flour you’re using! If you are making a regular wheat flour recipe gluten-free, you don’t need as much flour (in cup measures) as gf flour is usually a lot denser and it absorbs  liquids much more.

Especially when baking vegan and gluten-free I also recommend using enough liquid / oil. For example in this vegan cheesecake tart I use coconut oil in the crust and before baking the dough is very soft and easy to shape. It should not feel crumbly, or else you will most likely get a very crumbly, even dry tart.

I also really recommend experimenting with different types of flour mixes! They make baking so much easier. If you can eat regular wheat flour, I still recommend trying out different flours. I think gluten-free flours give a lovely flavor to baked goods and also the texture might be different, but delicious of course.

If I’m baking sweet buns, cinnamon rolls or donuts I will choose the Gluten-free bun flour mix. When I’m making pancakes I’ll choose the Gluten-free pancake flour mix. If I want super scrumptious and healthy bread I will use a high fiber Gluten-free sunflower seeds flour mix.

I’ve also tested Virtasalmen Viljatuote Gluten-free broad been flour mix, see the recipe for yummy blueberry cookies, and Gluten-free nettle pancake flour mix, see the scrumptious Feta tart I made. The flour mix I use most often is the one I’m using in this tart: gluten-free all purpose flour mix. I think it works in every kind of baking, but especially in tarts, pies and cakes.

You can also make one big tart. For a tart this big I would recommend doubling both the crust and filling. In this photo I have a tart with double crust but only one filling.

Tiina from My Berry Forest
Gluten-free vegan cheesecake tart with white chocolate cream is a delicious treat for spring celebrations or just to celebrate the weekend!
You need 6 small tart pans (~3,5 inches in diameter) to make this or a bigger round one. If making this in a large long rectangular shaped tart pan (~14 x 4 inches / 35 cm x 11 cm), you should double both crust and filling measures.
 NOTE: the tarts need to be stored 1-2 hours or overnight in the fridge before decorating.

  • 1,5 tbsp Viljatuote gluten-free all purpose flour mix
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • lime zest from 1/2 lime

Gluten-free crust

Cream cheese filling

  • Blend all ingredients with a hand mixer until creamy.

  • NOTE: Place a baking sheet on the last rack of the oven, because the tart filling might spill as it bakes.
