Vegan Dark Chocolate Lavender Cheesecake
I realized recently that it’s been far too long since I’ve made cheesecake. There was a time when I was making one about every other week, because it is one of my all time favorite desserts. It’s been a few years now though so I decided that I needed to make one last weekend […]
5 Ingredient Vegan Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
I love enjoying any type of berries in the summer! Local are best, and picking them yourself is even better! I went berry picking several times with Eric on our trip to Michigan a few years back, and they were honestly the best berries I have ever tasted. That was at a farm, but here […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake Swirl Brownies
This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own I have been craving pumpkin cheesecake lately since we are in the middle of pumpkin season, but I also thought brownies sounded good. So I thought, why not combine them for a fall treat?! I had some Dastony raw cashew butter and coconut butter […]
Vegan Cappucchino Cheesecake Swirl Brownies
I am a coffee fan. It always smelled amazing to me even if for the first part of my life I thought it actually tasted gross. But that may have been because the only time I would try it would be some event at church or something and I tried it plain with nothing in […]
Vegan Chocolate Strawberry Cake
I haven’t made an actual layer cake in a while, so when I was craving chocolate cake this week, I decided to go for it. They are a little more work than other cakes, and I am a busy person, so when I have time to make one, it is usually a relaxing day to […]
Vegan Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake
For Thanksgiving, part of the tradition at my house is to always have some fabulous desserts. Pumpkin pie is traditional, but sometimes I like to switch it up a little bit with the pumpkin desserts. I made some pumpkin creme caramel before and pumpkin cakes, and this year I decided that a vegan pumpkin pie […]
Vegan Raspberry Cheesecake Dessert Hummus
I am a huge hummus fan. When Eric and I went on vacation last month, almost every day for lunch I would buy hummus and vegetables to dip in it for lunch and it made me so happy. They are not all created equally though, some are definitely better than others. We make a really […]
Vegan White Chocolate Mango Raspberry Cheesecake
I can’t believe it is already July! Time has flown this year with all that is going on, and I feel a bit out of sorts as to what month it is lately since I am not in my usual routine. I haven’t done much cooking and baking lately because my kitchen has […]
Vegan Raspberry Swirled Chocolate Cheesecake
Cheesecake has to be my all time favorite dessert! Even before I was vegan I would make it or buy it a lot. There is just something so crave worthy about the creamy rich texture, and I love that I can make whatever flavor I am craving at the time. I have over […]
Vegan Tiramisu Cheesecake
The first time I ever tried tiramisu was at an Italian restaurant with my Mom when we were on a family vacation. I wasn’t a huge fan of coffee at the time, but it still sounded interesting so I ordered some. It was fabulous! Layers of soft cakey lady fingers with a hint […]
Vegan Raspberry Rose Cheesecake
I know we are far from summer, but I am missing summer berries, so I thought I would make a raspberry cheesecake to remind me of it. When I was little my favorite kind of cheesecake was the kind with the raspberry swirls. Whenever someone had one of those cheesecake variety packs with all different […]
Vegan Caramel Apple Cheesecake
I made a visit to a local apple orchard a few weekends back, and I still had some apples on hand, so I decided that I had to make something really delicious with them. Pie sounded good, but you know what sounded even better? A cheesecake with the elements of apple pie included. A caramel apple […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Cheesecake
I have been wanting to make a peanut butter and jelly cheesecake lately. It all started a few weeks back when I made some peanut butter and jelly ice cream, and peanut butter and jelly white chocolates and I was going to make the cake right away but I decided to wait until my Birthday! […]
Vegan Snickers Almond Cheesecake
I loved Snickers bars as a kid. They were always the thing I traded other candy for on Halloween (well tied with peanut butter cups of course), because I couldn’t get enough of them. Well, as an adult I like to make my own home made healthier veganized version of Snickers, as well as Snickers […]
Vegan Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
When I am out running, often times I do my best thinking. It could be working out a problem in my head, thinking of the possible options to fix it, thinking up possible art projects, or many times it is ideas for recipes. That was how I came up with the chocolate dipped cheesecake stuffed […]
Vegan Yogurt Cheesecake in a Jar
Cheesecake is my favorite dessert. It was even before I went vegan. I thought I would never enjoy it again when I had to give up dairy, but boy was I wrong! Vegan cheesecakes are even more delicious than their dairy cousins if you ask me. In fact, it was a raw cheesecake that made […]
Vegan Triple Chocolate Cheesecake
It’s my 9 year blogaversary! 10 years ago, I randomly decided to start a blog to share recipes with friends and family since I was always posting them on Facebook anyhow. Little did I know that I would still be doing it 10 years later, or be reaching this many people! I have had fun […]
Vegan Lemon Cheesecake
I have always loved all things lemon when it comes to dessert. Growing up, I loved those tart lemon curd bars with the powdered sugar on top, and lemon poppy seed muffins, or a good lemon meringue pie. I think I get it from my Mom, because she was the same way and tended to […]
Vegan Macadamia Nut Cheesecake Brownies
I have always considered macadamia nuts as kind of special. They are more rich and buttery than other nuts, a little bit more spendy most of the time since they have to grow 7 years before they are harvested and are really hard to crack. But for special occasions they are so good! I have […]
Vegan Pumpkin Turtle Cheesecake
I see food items and recipes all the time that I say to myself I would like to veganize. There was a magazine next to the checkout line when I was at the store and said it was all pumpkin desserts. On the cover was the most glorious looking pumpkin turtle cheesecake. But of course […]
Vegan Cheesecake Dessert Hummus
I love hummus of any sort, and I am always trying to come up with new and interesting flavors. I love the classic hummus with tahini, lemon, and lots of garlic and cumin of course, and I can get that kind in the deli I work in because ours is really good. But when I […]
Vegan Raspberry White Chocolate Cheesecake
I make my own Birthday cake every year, and half the time when I tell people that, they are baffled as to why. I even had someone tell me that it was sad that I made my own, and someone else should make me one or buy me one. But that is not how I […]
Vegan Strawberry Lemon Cheesecake Popsicles
It feels like Summer here, so I am craving popsicles. When I was little, they were an essential item that we always had to have around in the freezer. The plain fruit sweetened ones were my favorite, especially the raspberry or strawberry. I wasn’t as big of a fan of the fake ones that were […]
Vegan White Mulberry Pecan Caramel White Chocolate Cheesecake
I draw inspiration from many things. A non-vegan recipe I see online, or just walking through the produce department. Or, my favorite, when someone gives me ingredients to play with and make something fabulous. Vivapura was kind enough to send me some of their awesome products to use in my recipes, and I could not […]
Vegan Double Chocolate Cheesecake (Nut Free)
Since that nut free Vanilla Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake I made last weekend turned out so good, I decided that this weekend I needed to make a chocolate one for all of you chocolate lovers out there. You know who you are, the people who can never resist anything chocolate, and always choose it over vanilla. […]
Vegan Raspberry Swirled Vanilla Cheesecake (Nut Free)
I have probably made over 200 cheesecakes since I started to love them at a young age. I enjoyed them as a kid, but I never ate them very often because they were for special occasions in my family. Then by the time I was in college, I was buying a slice at a local […]
Vegan Blueberry Cheesecake Popsicles
I have been waiting months to make popsicles, and now that Summer is officially here, it is time to make them! I made some strawberry lemonade ones last week, but this week I wanted something a bit more decadent. More like sort of an ice cream pop than actual ice. Although fudge pops are always […]
Mini Vegan Vanilla Blackberry Cheesecakes
It was beautiful here in Minnesota last weekend! The sun was shining, it was warm enough for summer clothes and sandals and I even noticed some flowers starting to bloom when I was out for my walk with Eric. I feel like Spring is here and in full swing! I love this time of the […]
Vegan Key Lime Cheesecake
I can not believe Easter was last weekend! The weeks have been flying by lately, and now it is starting to finally green up outside, so it is fitting I guess. It always feels a little odd when Easter falls in March and it is still cold and brown outside. I see flowers starting to […]
Vegan Pink Velvet Cheesecake Swirl Brownies
One of my all time favorite relaxing activities is baking something delicious in the kitchen. So, last Monday I decided to bake some brownies since it was my day off. I haven’t made any in quite a while, so it was about time! I knew I wanted to make something really good, and something chocolate. […]
Vegan Mini Peppermint Swirl Cheesecakes
One of the things I love about living in Minnesota is the beautiful scenery we get with the changes of the seasons. Sure, it gets really cold here in the winter sometimes. But you have to admit that waking up to a world of sparkling white outside your window is beautiful! I had to get […]
Vegan Maple Nut Cheesecake Dark Chocolates
I have been in a candy making mood lately. Most likely because Halloween is coming up, and I don’t buy candy at the store, but I love making it! When I make my own, I can control the ingredients that go into it, which are always good quality. I have made copy cat versions of […]
Mini Vegan Snickers Cheesecakes
When I was little and dressed up and went out for Halloween, to be honest, the dressing up part was my favorite of everything, even over the candy. It was fun to be able to pretend to be someone or something else for a night. My favorite costume was not all that exciting, a black […]
Vegan Caramel Pecan Cheesecake Swirl Brownies
One time, back when I was in high school, I had to bring a dessert to a cross country banquet to share, and my Mom decided to make brownies. Now mind you, we did not make them from scratch, we bought the mixes at the store, and at that point in my life I could […]
Mini Vegan Apple Maple Cheesecakes
Apples are abundant in my kitchen lately. So, when I got home from work Friday, and had the urge to bake something to relive stress and chill out, it was going to be apple. I had a bunch of ideas for what I wanted to make bouncing around in my head and couldn’t decide on […]
Vegan Mini Pumpkin Spice Cheesecakes and Sweetleaf Stevia Giveaway!
When SweetLeaf Stevia contacted me to see if I would like to do a collaboration I could not say no! To be honest, I have been buying their stevia for over 10 years, and I used to go through a lot of it. I have tried a few other brands and none of them measure […]
Vegan Mini Caramel Pecan Banana Cream Cheesecakes
I used to have this fabulous banana cream pie recipe that I made quite often when I was in college. It had the most luscious coconut banana cream filling, and sometimes I would even top it off with caramel and pecans for good measure and because it was so good. I always made it in […]
Vegan Vanilla Cheesecake Ice Cream with Blueberry Jam Swirl
What does one do with 3 lbs of blueberries? Eat them all in a big bowl and end up like Violet Beauregarde in Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and turn into a giant blueberry? To be completely honest after seeing that movie as a kid, I always thought about that scene of the movie when […]
Vegan Mini Chocolate Almond Brownie Cheesecakes
On my days off, I like to make something a little decadent. This time, I made some chocolate almond brownie cheesecakes. I am loving desserts like this lately because they are easy, but they are just as delicious as their larger cousins. I had just made some fresh almond butter, and I was craving chocolate […]
Vegan Mini Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecakes
When I was younger I used to browse recipes online and cook books from the library and actually make them exactly as they were. But now I rarely do that. Because of course, most of the recipes I come across that look really good to me are not vegan, and I didn’t used to be […]
Vegan Black and Blue Berry Cheesecake Pie
Cheesecake anything always gets me going. From the time I was little I would always choose cheesecake over any other dessert hands down. There is just something crave worthy about the texture and flavor of it. For a while when I was in college I would buy a piece of cheesecake from the local co […]
5 Ingredient Vegan Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
It was really hot and sticky last Monday. I went out for a walk in the afternoon, and when I got home, I felt like I had been dipped into a stinky pond. I took a refreshing bath laced with peppermint oil, and that helped to cool me down, but I also decided that I […]
Raw Strawberry White Chocolate Cheesecake
Happy first full official day of Spring! I am so ready for it, and even though it doesn’t feel like Spring yet, I am using it as an excuse to wear my cute Spring clothes and eat Spring like desserts. I even got some beautiful Tulips from Eric which was awesome since I won’t be […]
Vegan Gingerbread Cheesecake and a L. C. Finns Extract Giveaway!
When L. C. Finns contacted me and asked if I would like to try their line of flavor extracts I was excited. I looked on their website and discovered that they make all of their extracts small batch by hand, and they are made with real ingredients! Heck yes I wanted to try them. And […]
Raw White Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake
I was hard core craving some pumpkin spice cheesecake last weekend. But just plain pumpkin spice wasn’t going to cut it, I wanted to add white chocolate as well. oddly enough it has been a while since I made a raw cheesecake since I have been working on my book making other types of cakes. […]
Raw Strawberry Rhubarb Cheesecake Bars
I was over at my Dad’s house on Father’s Day and I picked a whole bunch of rhubarb. I almost left without it, but Eric reminded me it was there, and I was all like… “Are you wanting me to bake something with it, or is that a hint?” Of course it was, and he […]
Raw Neapolitan Cheesecake, Blogaversary and a Giveaway!
4 years ago today I posted my first recipe on this blog. It was a red velvet cupcake recipe featuring beets, and it was not plant based at all because I had used cream cheese frosting and I had taken a single photo of the cupcakes with the worst lighting possible. But I was proud […]
Raw Fire and Ice Cheesecake
It went from a brown Christmas, almost 40 degrees and balmy for Minnesota this time of the year…down to below zero and snowy. It is definitely a winter wonderland now and I can hear the kids out on the sledding hill by my house having fun and breaking in their new sleds since we finally […]
Raw Pretty in Pink Birthday Cheesecake
Yesterday, I turned 27. However, I still feel as if I should be 21…as 27 is getting so close to 30! This will not stop me however from acting younger than my age. I never want to be boring, and I still like to do things like wear hello kitty kitty band-aids, run through sprinklers […]
