Vegan Blueberry Cheesecake. Just because you are vegan, does not mean you need to miss out on cheesecake. Cashews serve as a wonderful replacement for cheese in this Vegan and Gluten Free Blueberry Cheesecake.
I made a 6 inch round cheesecake, but you can also do mini cheesecake bites if you prefer. This healthy dessert makes the perfect use of those blueberries.
If you are not a fan of blueberries, you can use another berry if you like. Or even a combination of berries.
This vegan blueberry cheesecake is not only vegan, but also gluten free and grain free. There is no cooking required, so it makes a great dessert for this hot weather.
If you are a visual person, I filmed a video for this recipe as well. You can view it below. For more videos, you can subscribe to my You Tube Channel.
