This decadent dairy-free marble cheesecake is swirled with vanilla and chocolate filling. It’s set in the gluten-free cookie crust of your choice – we’ve included four options!
This recipe is also a great way to use dairy-free cream cheese alternatives. Even if you don’t love a brand straight from the tub, it will probably work well in this recipe. Daiya, for example, really shines in sweets. If you are okay with nuts, nut cheeses, like Treeline, bake very well.
