Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper comes up at least 2 inches above the rim of the pan.
In a large mixing bowl, add the dairy-free cream cheese and granulated sugar. Using a handheld or stand mixer, beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition, until fully incorporated.
Pour in the coconut cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix on low speed until the ingredients are well combined.
Sift the cornstarch over the batter and gently fold it in using a spatula until no traces of cornstarch remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Place the cheesecake on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes. The top should be deeply browned and slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature in the pan. Then, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set completely.
Carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan and remove the parchment paper. Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature for a creamy, indulgent treat.
