Another fabulous recipe for Raw Blueberry Cheesecake Bites which uses my to-go vegan cheesecake recipe. I know some of. you guys still wonder how a mixture of nuts and other ingredients can mimic the taste of a cheesecake. And I am again and again amazed that we do not require eggs, sugar and cream to create something so delicious.
These raw blueberry cheesecake bites are clearly inspired by Pana Chocolates which keep amazing me with their chocolate and cake creations. Apart from their stunning food creations, I love their philosophy of using only clean and organic ingredients whilst trying not to harm animals and the environment!
I wanted to go for 3 cheesecake layers for this recipe. It is a bit more work as it takes time to mix every layer individually but rust me it creates the coolest look. If yo haven’t tried the killer lemon and blueberry combination, you are really missing out. But this is your chance to give it a try, of course! The crust is an easy sugarfree date walnut crust.
For these beauties I used a rectangular loaf pan. I urge you to line the cake pan your are using carefully so you get the cake out in one piece. I have skipped this step in the past and it really did hurt my heart seeing my creation falling apart.
As far as decoration goes, I think simple freeze dried berries and a simple chocolate drizzle go a long way. I bought some red freeze-dried Lingonberries in Sweden during my last holiday. They worked great as a rather unusual decoration piece. But you can go much easier, I reckon raspberries would be a hit too!
