Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake (Vegan)

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake.  My husband Marcus is a sucker for anything with chocolate and peanut butter.  So I created this chocolate peanut butter vegan cheesecake with him in mind.

This healthy cheesecake is made with no refined sugar, gluten, grains or dairy!  Unlike traditional cheesecake, this recipe is no bake and can be made very quickly!

t starts with an almond date crust, then you have the creamy chocolate and peanut butter layer, and lastly, it’s topped with a decadent peanut butter frosting.

Yum! I could seriously have eaten the frosting by itself!  So good!

I used a 6 inch spring form pan to make a high cheesecake.  You can use a larger one if you like, just keep in mind it will not be as tall of a cake.  Another great option is to make mini cheesecakes with a muffin pan.

      1. I love your book and your recipes; thank you. Just a question about this recipe, do the dates need to be soaked first?
      2. Hi Melissa; All your recipes you email are so ingenious and fabulous....i have loved making the irresistable ones. On this particular recipe, how can i substitute that processed oil? I do not allow myself to eat any processed oils because of their reputations and their dangers. Since any oil is not a whole food, what else could i substitute for this ingredient??? thanks for answering.
      3. Hi Melissa, J have a sensitivity to coconut, will using a different oil change the taste? What can I use instead of the coconut oil?
