Raw/ Vegan/ Gluten free/ Dairy Free/ Processed Sugar Free
It’s still very humid where I live so this cheesecake was perfect for a fresh treat. I love this recipe because it has a slight salty taste from the pistachios and then gives you a burst citrus. Limes are a citrus fruit that are loaded with vitamin C and has a detoxifying effect. You may of heard how good it is to have lemon water in the morning as it aids in digestion, supports healthy immune system and helps to balance pH levels. Limes can also be used for the same benefits or you can combined lemon and limes together. Easily one of my favourite flavour combinations so I hope you enjoy xx

I was fortunate to have two of my girls spend the night with me recently. They insisted that we try our hand at your recipes. We picked this one and the zucchini pesto to try. We had a lot of fun preparing and devouring and enjoying your style. Just wanted to say “thank you” for a wonderful weekend. – M o M
Aww that sounds so wonderful! So happy you liked the recipes:) hope you had an amazing weekend with your girls xx

Hello. I am new to finding your site. I have recently gone back to a vegan lifestyle after having been told by a doctor in 2014 I needed meat in my diet as medicine for a thyroid condition. After given that advice and for one year staying on meat….life got much worse. I am happy to be back on a vegan diet which I was vegetarian for many years. I haven’t had a chance to find out a whole lot about you yet but I am looking forward to making some of your amazing desserts soon. I would love to have any feed back you may be willing to share. One of my biggest questions is how can I get more fat from raw/vegan food. I seem to be recently craving cheese and its the fat in cheese I am craving so I know my body is need more fat from raw foods. There has to be more than just avocados and nuts/seeds?? Blessings to you!

Hi Crista, Welcome 🙂 really nice to meet you! Sounds like a very similar story to mine. I’ve been vegan for over a year now and it took me a while to find what was right for me. It’s hard to know why you are getting these craving without knowing exactly what you eat in a day… my guess would be that you may not be eating enough. Are you eating enough food?? Lots of vegan food such as rice, quinoa, lentils, oats, veggies (raw and cooked) and fruit? or are you 100% raw? It takes a while to find exactly what works for you but don’t give up! Looking forward to hearing from you again!

Aw thank you !! Xx
These look so good and super easy to make! Love the colors too!
Thank you so much !! xx
Hi Tiana
This slice looks amazing! Do you serve it straight from the freezer or does it benefit from some bench time before serving?
Hi Candi:)
Personally I would give it some bench time as it’s hard straight out of the freezer but either way it fine ! You can also store in the fridge and it will stay nice and soft:)
Love this! Dates and coconut always make for a fantastic base, and it’s great to see a recipe without all the traditional ingredients. I included a link to your page on my round-up of creative cakes: http://www.shopbox.com/blog/creative-cake-ideas-for-your-bakery 🙂
Looks amazing
