Raw Honey Walnut Cheesecake
The ultimate raw cheesecake is a snap to make thanks to inherently creamy raw cashews. While this recipe takes a bit of time to create, it’s mostly hands-off. Garnish with sliced fresh strawberries or your favourite fruit. [callout] Tip: Make snack-sized cheesecakes in paper-lined muffin tins; they’re perfect for packed lunches or plated desserts.
