Cheese Strudel – Gretchen’s Vegan Bakery

Cheese Strudel

A easy recipe with minimal substances and a bundle of puff pastry is all you want!

                   

Notes for Success:

Now that we’re vegan we now have to deal with our substances barely completely different

And in case you are conscious of the vegan cream cheese nightmare you understand what I imply!
To begin with vegan cream cheese is principally non existent the place I stay, in order that provides extra chaos to the equation!

To not point out I’ve solely had success with Tofutti model cream cheese in my baked recipes *not sponsored
I’ve not had success with some other model in BAKED recipes; for some cause the opposite dearer manufacturers I’ve tried have damaged down into an oily mess when baked.

Nevertheless I’ve been getting nice suggestions from many followers of my recipes they usually inform me that:

Violife now works in baked recipes!

This can be a shock to me since I had the worst outcomes with Violife in baked recipes again in 2019, Maybe they’ve since modified their system?

Additionally Miyokos authentic works out nice and the style is divine!

Cornstarch is a really troublesome ingredient to measure persistently with a quantity/spoons measure
So whereas I checklist each measures beneath I can not stress sufficient how the grams measure with a scale goes to provide the finest outcomes.
Many instances individuals have complained that their cheesecake is like rubber they usually don’t know why!
That is from a heavy measure of cornstarch when utilizing quantity measuring spoon vs the 100% correct scale measure in grams.

Final, I’m utilizing dried out cake crumbs that is an previous bakery trick to soak up any extra moisture from a delicate filling like this one
Merely toast some extra cake crumbs from a earlier venture within the oven (you solely want about ½ cup)
Alternatively you need to use bread crumbs!
