\nFeel free to use any vegan brand ingredients for this recipe.<\/p>\n

Ingredients for crust made in a 10-inch spring form pan:
\n10 graham crackers
\n1\/3 cup melted vegan butter
\n20 Biscoff cookies more or less for the perimeter of spring form pan <\/p>\n

Filling:
\n\u00be cup coconut butter
\n2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
\n\u00bc tsp fresh lime juice
\n\u00bd cup vegan plant milk
\n3 Tbsp vanilla extract
\n2\/3 cup vegan sugar
\n1 tsp lemon zest
\nTwo 8 ounce containers of vegan cream cheese
\n4 Tbsp melted coconut oil
\n8 ounce tub vegan whip cream
\n21 oz. can Lucky Leaf Premium Strawberry Filling
\n[Editor\u2019s note: Since this was a Lucky Leaf contest, their brand strawberry filling was used; however, feel free to make your own strawberry filling by cooking down fresh organic strawberries, etc. Easy recipes can be found online.]<\/p>\n

Fresh fruit to top our cake:
\n2 cups strawberries
\n1 cup black berries <\/p>\n

First let\u2019s start off by making the crust for the cheese cake. Place crackers in a bag; use a rolling pin to crush. Placed crushed crackers in bowl with melted butter and stir until well coated. Pour crust into a buttered pan and use spatula to press the crumbs down firmly in pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 8 minutes and let cool. After crust cools, place Biscoff cookies around the perimeter of the pan. <\/p>\n

Now on to the cream cheese filling. In a mixing bowl, place coconut butter, lemon and lime juice, plant milk, vanilla, sugar and lemon zest. Blend together with a hand held mixer on high for 5 minutes until completely smooth. <\/p>\n

In a separate bowl whip cream cheese until smooth on medium for 3 minutes, add coconut butter mixture to bowl with cream cheese mixture and mix until fully cooperated. Now beat mixture on medium speed for 3 minutes. Next pour in melted coconut oil and mix until well combined. Fold in whip cream. <\/p>\n

Spread cream mixture smoothly over prepared crust in spring form pan. Place premium Strawberry Filling on top. Let sit covered in fridge for 3 hours. When ready to serve top with your choice of fresh berries. <\/p>\n
