    Giraffe’s Love No-Bake Vegan Cheesecake

    The wonderful people at Laughing Giraffe Organics emailed this recipe for a no-bake vegan cheesecake straight from the Giraffe’s mouth (and graciously granted a reprint here) who was I to argue?! Especially since they churn out some of the most delicious granola and macaroons (lovingly named Snackaroons) I have ever sunk my teeth into.

    Seriously, Laughing Giraffe knows healthy snacks and sweets, so this one is bound to be a winner … and did I mention? It is easy too.

      What are almond crumbs? Is it just almonds ground down not as fine as flour?
