Blueberry, blackberry and ginger cheesecake

No bake vegan cheesecake packed with berries and a touch of ginger. Healthy and gluten free.

Have you had a raw vegan cheesecake before? If you get a good raw cheesecake, it has the texture of a New York style cheesecake which just melts in your mouth. It's smooth, creamy and almost fluffy. I don't normally share my raw cheesecake recipes publicly as they are commercial recipes I use for my cake business, but I made an exception this time... because this cake was so darn delicious!

Ok, this recipe is not 100% raw as I toasted the almonds for the base  because I prefer the sweetness of roasted nuts compared to raw nuts. The roasted almonds provides a grounding and earthy base for the cheesecake. I like multi-layered cheesecakes because they are so pretty and I can never decide on a single flavour. The berries from my frozen smoothie mix added some natural sweetness to the cheesecake and lightened it up. The vanilla layer gave my palette a rest from the all of the flavours going on.

I had one for breakfast and the rest was quickly shared with my partner's family. None of them were vegan or overly health-conscious but they all said the cake was amazing! Carnivore approved!

Just look at that creaminess!

I hope you enjoy this recipe :).
