How I love Vegan Cheesecake! I admit that my preference is for fruit cheesecakes of any type, however I’m surrounded by chocolate lovers. Therefore it was time to bend to the pressure and sort out a Vegan Chocolate Cheesecake recipe.
I love this one as it’s super simple, tastes delicious and doesn’t require baking. I decorated our Vegan Chocolate Cheesecake with chocolate chips and a dusting of cocoa powder. You could put Raspberries, or Blueberries on top if you prefer. Adding in a dollop of Vegan Whipped Cream just makes it that extra bit special!
