One of my all time favorite desserts is cheesecake. I ALWAYS order it when I see it on a menu. Who doesn’t love a beautiful graham cracker crust with a luscious sweet cream cheese filling on top?! My mother only makes cheesecake once a year – for the Jewish holiday of Shavuot. It has been years since we have been able to be in Los Angeles for it so we always miss out on the amazingness that is her cheesecake. I have been learning to make do without it over the years and this dairy free cheesecake recipe has been helping me cope. It came from a friend and I put my little spin on it. Thanks Lindsay aka BB!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

** I love the Zyliss Slice and Serve Pie Server from Crate and Barrel but they have so many adorable pie servers right now at Anthropologie. Check them out!
I love this recipe. Good job.
Hi Jessica!
Vegan Cheesecake, yum! This recipe looks amazing! I was just wondering what kind of ‘eggs’ you used for this?
You can use 4 tablespoons of potato starch as a replacement for the eggs!
