This recipe for vegan cheesecake cups was a “dessert” entry in the So Delicious Dairy Free 3-Course Recipe Contest, submitted by reader Tara Stack. (Note: That recipe contest has wrapped up, but for any current recipe contests on Go Dairy Free, see our recipe contest search.)
“These addictive treats are dairy free, soy free, gluten free and free of refined sugar. Keep them stored in the freezer and let them defrost 10-15 minutes before serving …otherwise they’ll probably all be gone in minutes! So Delicious Coconut Milk and cashew nuts make for creamy no-bake vegan cheesecake cups that are a great alternative to the usual silken tofu based vegan fare. Enjoy!”
