Raw Vegan Lime Cheesecake

This little beauty is perfect to make for a Valentine’s Day bash. Who has valentine’s day bashes you ask? Well, all the single peeps of course!!! This is a decadent and healthy treat to share with all your friends…and family as well! Even the kids will love it!

Making desserts with cashews is one of my favorite things to do. They are so sweet and creamy that you won’t even miss the cream cheese, which is the normal and fatty ingredient in all regular cheesecakes.
