Vegan White Chocolate Blueberry Cheesecake
In the video I mentioned using vegan sour cream as one of the ingredients. I have since changed the recipe and have omitted the sour cream, as I did not feel it was necessary to the final result, afterall it is essentially just adding more fat (in the form of oils) that is not needed.
However if you feel you would like to give that version a try, simply omit ¼ cup of the plant milk listed below and add in ¼ cup of vegan sour cream in place. Everything else stays the same!
