Raw Mixed Berry Vegan Cheesecake
Who says being vegan means not having deliciously creamy cheesecake? This beautiful, raw raspberry and blueberry cheesecake is completely decadent. It consists of a crunchy almond and date protein base, and is topped off with creamy cashew and coconut “cheese”. Frozen raspberry and blueberry puree finishes off this cake in style. Part healthy dessert, part completely wicked... but very very yummy!
