Vegan Cheesecake

Cultural Context

Vegan cheesecake is a modern twist on traditional cheesecake, catering to those who avoid dairy and animal products. It often features a creamy filling made from blended nuts or tofu, sweetened naturally, and set in a crust made from nuts or oats. This dessert has gained popularity in recent years as plant-based diets have become more mainstream, appealing to both vegans and non-vegans alike.
