Lately I’m eating more plant-based food due to several beneficial reasons. And as you might have noticed this means my recipes are vegan more often as well! It’s nice to experiment with all the good things that plant-based food has to offer. Well that definitely worked out extremely good with these lemon vegan no-bake cheesecake bites! No baking needed and ideal for healthy eating AND maximum pleasure.
“Vegan, because my body is a temple – not a tomb.”
A few months ago I shared my recipe for the no-bake carrot cake bites and I’ve got so much love from you for this easy-peasy recipe! That made me want to do another version of these no-bake bites, which led me to combine it with one of my most favorite treats: cheesecake! Yep, that one never gets old when there is something to celebrate 🙂 I shared a few cheesecake recipes on my blog before (which are all evenly yummy if you ask me haha), and now my first vegan version of this treat is here! Based on cashews and lemon this may not be a real cheesecake, but I can assure you these cheesecake bites won’t let down haha
To be honest I like the no-bakers so much because they are so easy that it just can’t go wrong! When I’m baking a cake I always hope for it to come out the oven as it should. So now I’m staying safe with no-bakers like these lemon cheesecake bites 😉
With love,
