The perfect dessert to whip together at the last minute when unexpected guests arrive. My no bake deconstructed vegan cheesecakes are packed full of flavour and with just 8 ingredients they take less than 10 minutes to make.
In a stand mixer bowl with the paddle attachment, combine 227 grams (1 tub) of cream cheese with 40 g (3 tbsp) white sugar.
Add 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp lemon zest and 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste. Mix for 2-3 minutes until light and fully combined.
Constructing the Dessert
Add several teaspoons of crushed digestives to the bottom of the serving glass. Pipe cream cheese filling on top then add a few teaspoons of strawberry jam.
Repeat the same layers again and top with pomegranate seeds and a sprinkling of lemon zest.
Store in the fridge or serve immediately.

Notes
This recipe makes 2 individual cheesecake servings.
You can make up the cheesecake filling in advance and construct the desserts at the last minute before serving. Alternatively, make them in advance and store in the fridge for 2-3 days.
If you are not vegan or do not like coconut cream cheese, feel free to sub with your preferred cream cheese.
For a different base option, substitute the digestives with crushed graham crackers or even oreo crumbs.
