Plant-Based Cheesecake

Indulge guilt-free with this exquisite Plant-Based Cheesecake, where decadence meets health-conscious ingredients. The crust boasts a blend of raw almonds, dates, raisins, flaxmeal, and a touch of ground cinnamon, providing a delightful mix of nuttiness and natural sweetness. Its wholesome composition delivers fibre, healthy fats, and a hint of spice, setting the stage for a satisfying foundation.

The luscious filling steals the show, crafted from raw unsalted cashew nuts, Medjool dates, and a zing of lemon juice for a burst of citrusy brightness. Enhanced by the warmth of vanilla extract and the creaminess of plant-based milk, this concoction achieves a velvety texture that’s both luxurious and nourishing. Adding to its appeal is the use of agar agar powder, a plant-based gelatin alternative.

This plant-based cheesecake harmonizes the richness of cashews with the sweetness of dates, creating a sumptuous dessert that’s not just a treat for the taste buds but also a treasure trove of nutrients. Packed with protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals, this guilt-free delight redefines the classic cheesecake experience, inviting you to savour each creamy, wholesome bite.

Normally you might find me behind the coding of our sites but over the years I have become much more concerned about what has been happening in the kitchen as well - families do that for all of us don't they? Background experience is in Account Management and Web Development but as my passion has grown for WFPB so has my desire to speak out.
