Do you like cheesecakes? I love them since they are so creamy and delicious. This raw vegan cheesecake recipe is dairy free, egg free, refined sugar-free, gluten free, plant-based, fruity, light and would be a great treat for the summer. It doesn’t contain any cholesterol like non-vegan cheesecakes and it requires no baking. Big bonus in my opinion!
I used pink dragon fruit to naturally color the cheesecake pink because pink makes everything prettier and it’s furthermore the perfect color for Valentine’s Day. It would be also a great cake for a birthday party, especially for girls. The base contains prunes, buckwheat groats, poppy seeds and xylitol. Below you will find some facts about these ingredients.
Xylitol is made from birch trees, but unlike sugar, it is not converted in the mouth to acids that cause tooth decay. It can actually even prevent cavities! I really like the taste, it’s sweet and it produces a noticeable cooling sensation while it melts in the mouth.
Buckwheat is not a grain, it’s a seed from a plant related to greens like rhubarb and sorrel. It’s gluten free and very healthy as it contains resistant fiber* and essential nutrients. *Resistant fiber is a compound shown to lower blood sugar after meals, help weight loss, reduce food cravings help weight loss and improve diabetes (1)
Did you know that poppy seeds are very high in copper, calcium and especially in manganese? For instance, 1 tablespoon (9 grams) of poppy seeds has 33% of the RDI of manganese, 16% of the RDI of copper and 13% of the RDI of calcium. It’s also high in phosphorus and zinc (2).
