Raw Vegan Berry Cheesecake
I was introduced to the idea of this dessert a couple of years ago at a potluck dinner. A friend made a version of this cake from a video she found on social media that listed the ingredients and steps, but not the measurements. The results were colorful and delicious, but very soupy. I did some research and found several different recipes online, but none were quite right. So, after some trial and error, I finally came up with a recipe that is pretty and ridiculously delicious. The optional herbal ingredients add a boost of color, flavor, and nutritional value, but don’t worry if you don’t have access to them.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
If using springform pans: Wrap one 9-inch or 4 4-inch springform pans with 1-2 layers of aluminum foil, covering the bottom and the sides. Lightly coat the bottoms and sides with coconut oil. Cut a circle of parchment paper for the bottom of the pan. Place about ½ cup of the crust mixture in each the 4” pans (or all of it for the 9” pan) and pack down tightly with the bottom of a glass or back of a spoon (the glass works best). Place in the freezer to firm up while you make the filling.

If using cupcake tins: Line cupcake tins with parchment paper. Press paper down into the tin using a small measuring cup or the bottom of a glass. Place about 2 tablespoons of the crust mixture in the parchment paper “cups” and pack down tightly with the bottom of a measuring cup, the bottom of a glass, or back of a spoon. Place in the freezer to firm up while you make the filling.

To make the crust:
• Add dates to a food processor or blender until it turns into paste and forms into a ball. Remove and set aside.
• Next, blend the walnuts into a coarse meal. Add dates and maca (if using) to the nut meal and blend until a chunky dough forms, which holds together when you squeeze it between your fingers.**

Add all filling ingredients, except berries, hibiscus powder, and blue butterfly pea flower powder, to a blender and mix until very smooth. I had to blend it for a while in my regular blender, but if you have a Vitamix, this part of the process should go quickly. If the mixture doesn’t look completely smooth, you can add a bit more coconut milk.
- 5
Set aside two cups of the filling.
- 6
Add the raspberries and hibiscus (if using) to the filling that remains in the blender. Blend until the color is uniform.
- 7
Divide the raspberry filling evenly among the tins or pans. Tap a few times to release any air bubbles and even out the filling.
- 8
Place 1 cup of filling in the blender and add the blueberries and blue butterfly pea powder (if using). Blend until the color is uniform.
- 9
Divide the blueberry filling evenly among the tins or pans. Tap a few times to release any air bubbles and even out the filling.
- 10
Place the remaining cup of filling in the blender and add the black raspberries. Blend until the color is uniform.
- 11
Divide the black raspberry filling evenly among the tins or pans. Tap a few times to release any air bubbles and even out the filling.
- 12
Freeze until firm.
- 13
Remove from freezer, and pop the cakes out of the tins or pans and place on plates. Allow to sit at room temperature before serving – 10 minutes for cupcakes, 20 minutes for 4” or 9” cakes. Make sure they don’t sit too long or they will get mushy.
- 14
The cakes, if removed from the tins or pans and placed in an airtight container, will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, or the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Chocolate raspberry dairy free cheesecake Chocolate raspberry dairy free cheesecake
Rich in flavour but not overwhelming at all. Takes some time but is very easy. A big hit, can't even tell its dairy free! Could easily be made vegan by subsituting a nut and dried fruit crust and cocoa instead of chocolate.

Vegan Tofu Cheesecake Vegan Tofu Cheesecake
This is my own variation of a recipe that I saw in a cook book! I changed it slightly so that it's easier for me to make!Make sure to drain the tofu well. Without decent draining, the cheesecake wouldn't turn out so well. Please adjust the sweetness and the sour flavor of lemon to your liking. If it's too much trouble making the tart crust, you could substitute that by spreading out sliced almonds. Recipe by apricot7

No-bake Chocolate Cheesecake No-bake Chocolate Cheesecake
I've been trying out a lot of cheesecake recipes lately, and I thought I'd try making a chocolate one. The batter may be a bit stiff and hard to smooth out.When adding the chocolate to the cream cheese batter, just mix it lightly to make a marble pattern. I added the chocolate before pouring the batter into the mold in order for the marbleizing to be throughout the batter, but if you prefer, add the cream cheese batter to the mold first, and then add the chocolate.

No-Bake Blueberry Jam Cheesecake No-Bake Blueberry Jam Cheesecake
I made some blueberry jam, so I wanted to make something with it. So, I made a variation of my usual no-bake cheesecake with ingredients I had on hand.I think it's a little sweet, but to me, it's delicious. If you add some lemon juice to the jam, it would probably taste great. Removing it from the tart pan is a pain, so you can wrap it with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill.

Healthy Blueberry No-Bake Cheesecake Healthy Blueberry No-Bake Cheesecake
I've been trying to use strained Greek-style yogurt in many different recipes, so I substituted it into this recipe that originally used cream cheese. You can try making it with cream cheese and milk if you'd prefer. You can also make this recipe without whipping the cream but it will make the taste a little plainer.If you over-whip the heavy cream it will becomes too stiff so be careful. I'm using a low-sugar jam so I'm adding in 40 g of sugar. If you are using store-bought jam then please reduce the amount of sugar to 30 g. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221 -
