Vegan Raspberry Cheesecake

Description

We made our cheesecake dairy-free and healthier than traditional cheesecakes. 

The cheese filling was made with our organic large whole cashews, they are absolutely delicious and high in nutrition and as healthy for the heart as olive oil, rich with monounsaturated fat, magnesium and healthy collagen. 

Fragrantly sweet with a subtly tart overtone our freeze-dried Raspberry Powder is made with delicious and nutritious raspberries which also happen to be an excellent source of fiber, manganese and vitamin C. They are also a great source of vitamin K, magnesium, folate, omega-3 fatty acids, copper, vitamin E, and potassium. 

Eating whole berries or berry powder has been shown in scientific studies to be more beneficial than taking the individual phytochemicals in the form of dietary supplements. I used freeze-dried Organic Raspberry Powder for a gorgeous red color and amazing texture. Then strained the powder to remove extra seeds from powder and very easy to mix with our premium raw, pure and delicious honey.
