    Dairy-Free Cheesecake Dip

    By Alisa Fleming on September 1, 2016 Alisa's Favorite Dairy-Free Recipes, Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes, Dairy-Free Snack Recipes

    I’ve been learning to embrace the deliciousness of easy recipes in recent months. In the past, I thought the sign of a good recipe creator was how imaginative their recipes were. That is until I noticed what magazine recipes I was actually trialing in my own home. Some were relatively creative, but all were pretty darn simple. None involved reinventing the wheel or unique flavor pairings. They were just easy twists on old favorites, like this dairy-free cheesecake dip.

    As a result, you might have noticed how my recipes have begun devolving back to earlier days of recipe creating. My Wild Blueberry Bliss Smoothie, No Bake Power Cookies, Cookies ‘n Ice Cream Bon Bons, and Herb Drop Biscuits are recipes that I whipped up to add easy deliciousness to your EVERYDAY life.

    This dairy-free cheesecake dip recipe is just as quick and foolproof. Like the Bon Bons I mentioned, it’s a little indulgent and uses a couple tasty “cheats”. But don’t worry, but both are quite easy to find.

    How to Serve Dairy-Free Cheesecake Dip

    Fresh strawberries and Enjoy Life Crunchy Vanilla Honey Graham Minis are my favorite for dipping in this cheesecake dip. The latter compliment it so well, but strictly vegan treatsters can dunk the Crunchy Sugar Crisp Minis instead.

    This dairy-free cheesecake dip also packs really well! For lunch boxes, I spoon it into mini jars. Then, I grind or smash Crunchy Vanilla Honey Graham Cookies (or Sugar Crisps for honey-free) and sprinkle them over top of the dip. It’s like an upside down allergy-friendly cheesecake! If you’re concerned about it getting warm, then freeze the jars overnight. Pop a frozen one into a lunchbox and it will defrost by lunch.

    Serves: 6 to 8 servings
    Ingredients
    Dairy-Free Cheesecake Dip
    • 4 ounces dairy-free cream cheese alternative (I use half a tub of Daiya Plain)
    • ¼ cup coconut cream (see note below)
    • ¼ to ⅓ cup powdered sugar
    • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
    • ½ to ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • Pinch salt
    For Serving
    • Fresh strawberries
    • Enjoy Life Vanilla Honey Graham or Sugar Crisp Mini Cookies
    • Crushed Enjoy Life Vanilla Honey Graham or Sugar Crisp Cookies
    Instructions
    1. Place all the cream cheese alternative, coconut cream, powdered sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt in a mixing bowl. We like the full amount of vanilla and a scant ⅓ cup of the powdered sugar, but use the lower amounts if you prefer less sweet.
    2. Blend the ingredients with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
    3. Place the cheesecake dip in a bowl and serve with cookies and strawberries for dipping. You can also serve with crushed cookies for rolling or top the cheesecake dip with the crushed cookies.
    4. Leftover dip can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days. I also freeze individual portions for an any time treat.
    Notes
    Coconut Cream: You can buy coconut cream or chill full-fat coconut milk and use the solid coconut cream that forms. I chill So Delicious Original Culinary Coconut Milk - it turns almost completely into cream!

      Have you ever done a chocolate version of this?

        No, I haven’t! I’m honestly not a big fan of chocolate cheesecake, so it wasn’t on my radar. But if I did, I would use the 1/3 cup powdered sugar and add cocoa powder to taste (starting with 1 tablespoons, and adding more as desired).

      Is there an alternative to the coconut cream? This sounds so good but I can’t have coconuts. Thank you!

        Thick cashew cream would work, but I’m not sure if you can do cashews! Pureed firm silken tofu might also work well.

      Does this have a coconut taste to it? I would love to make a dairy free dip for my daughter, but we really do not like the coconut taste at all. So we always have a hard time finding stuff like this.

        No one who tasted it here detected any coconut.
