Rawspirations

Light, fresh, and delicious, this raw vegan cheesecake literally just melts in your mouth like chocolate. The secret ingredient is cacao butter which is what gives it that creamy silkiness to the texture! I like to enjoy a slice at afternoon tea or dessert, its also a good one to make and keep in the freezer for when those unexpected guests pop over!
