One thing I love about these raw vegan raspberry cheesecakes is that they can be made into individual portions, or you can make them as a whole cake. I personally love them as individual cupcakes because they’re perfectly portioned!
The base is made out of only two ingredients, Medjool dates and almonds. The filling is made out of a cashew base, which gives the cheesecake a creamy texture.
