ObiMy Recommended Vegan Cheesecake Recipe
This vegan cheesecake is the vegan dessert that is made to change your mind on what you think about vegan desserts, especially desserts that traditionally require dairy products to make. This vegan cheesecake is all you need in an awesome dessert that is made from love and completely vegan. It is rich, tasty and filling. You’d definitely fall in love more with it after you try it. There’s a reason it is my recommended recipe.
The crust only requires a simple mix of crushed vegan biscuits, coconut oil and maple syrup. They create a base that’s buttery and just a little bit crunchy once chilled. It’s the kind of crust that holds everything together. For the filling, you need soaked cashews to be blended with coconut cream, lemon juice, maple syrup and a little bit of vanilla until the mixture turns into silky. The creamy texture you get comes from these blended cashews
There’s no need giving you all these explanations when the recipe below could do justice to that.
