Good Afternoon friends! How’s the humpy day goin’ so far? I am sooooo glad you’re all diggin’ the Raw Vegan Cheesecake I posted earlier. To answer some random questions… .cashews I think are best because they are a soft nut and lend well to blending and making a nice creamy filling. Macadamias may also work but almonds…nah, I probably wouldn’t. Not to mention, the dark skin on almonds would make the creamy visual look of the cheesecake have a lil more of a sandpaper look and that’s not quite as perrr-dey.

This is pretty if I do say so myself. Raw Vegan Cheesecake Goodness at it’s Finest.
