Prepare the Crust Using a food processor, add the graham crackers and pulse until they form fine crumbs. Add the melted vegan butter and blend until the mixture is fully combined and cohesive. Press the crust mixture firmly into a 9-inch cheesecake or pie pan. 2. Make the Cheesecake Layer In a separate saucepan, combine the coconut milk, agar agar, and sugar. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil for 3–4 minutes to ensure all the agar agar and sugar are completely dissolved. Remove the mixture from the heat. In a large bowl, combine the vegan cream cheese and orange zest. Slowly whisk the warm coconut milk mixture into the cream cheese mixture until completely smooth. Pour the cheesecake mixture evenly over the prepared crust. Place the pan in the freezer to set while you prepare the final layer. 3. Prepare the Cranberry Jelly Layer In a clean bowl, mix the cranberry juice, orange juice, and agar agar. Transfer the mixture to a pot and boil for 3–4 minutes over low-medium heat, stirring continuously. Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes. Pour the cranberry jelly mixture gently on top of the chilled white cheesecake layer. 4. Chill, Decorate, and Serve Set the cheesecake in the fridge to chill until completely firm (this may take several hours). Once fully set, remove the cheesecake from the fridge. Decorate the top with fresh cranberries, rosemary sprigs, and vegan white chocolate chips, or any other preferred garnish.
