no bake vegan cheesecake

What tastes phenomenal, is completely dairy and lactose free, cholesterol free and is perfect for any party? This 30 minute no-bake vegan cheesecake recipe! Don’t let the word “vegan” scare you. This is just a really good, dairy-free cheesecake recipe that everyone can enjoy. Period.

I don’t know about you, but I absolutely love cheesecake! Unfortunately my tummy does not. I am severely lactose intolerant. My body will not stand for lactose. Okay, that is only funny if you have seen Jerry Seinfeld’s standup on lactose intolerance. I hear crickets…. Moving on!

I’ve never had a dairy-free cheesecake prior to making this easy no-bake version, which I adapted from Daiya Foods. It is a cinch to make and will satisfy any sweet tooth. You can find the Daiya vegan cream cheese at the local grocer near you (or if your nice I can send you a free coupon or two!). This recipe can easily be made gluten-free if you eliminate the crust or use gluten-free graham crackers.
