Can a dessert be life-changing? Obviously a dessert can be life-changing. And this vegan no-bake cookie dough cheesecake? It’s exactly that: mind-altering, group-text-worthy, life-will-never-be-the-same-again quality. It’s that good, and there’s a couple reasons why. First off: no to real cheesecakes. Not only are they totally not vegan or paleo whatsoever, but the water baths! The cracks! The overnight cooling! It’s really just much too much for me, especially after a couple water bath leaks that absolutely ruined a couple of my vegan pumpkin cheesecakes a while back. I swore them off ever since and committed to the raw vegan cheesecake way of life.
Secondly: No bake. Cookie. Dough. Cheesecake. No bake cookie dough cheesecake! No… vegan no bake cookie dough cheesecake! Paleo no bake cookie dough cheesecake! Raw no bake cookie dough cheesecake! Absolutely guilt-free this-is-a-fine-breakfast-food refined-sugar-free dairy-free gluten-free grain-free vegan no bake cookie dough cheesecake! There’s only one caveat… It does not taste healthy. Nah, it’s sweet and creamy and loaded with crunchy chocolate chips, topped with a creamy chocolate ganache, and poured over a chocolate chip crust. It’s heady with vanilla extract and rich maple syrup to mimic the taste of that cookie dough you loved to nosh on as a kid (slash yesterday), but it’s tart and creamy like a regular cheesecake at the same time. Oh, and did I mention it’s gorgeous? It’s kind of absolutely stunning. Like bring this to the potluck and everyone will eat it. And then watch all your friends slap you. Because eating healthy should not make you this smug, you sly, indulgent mama, you.
Because it’s absolutely dairy-free, it’s both a totally vegan no bake cookie dough cheesecake and a paleo no bake cookie dough cheesecake at the same time. Don’t you love when the herbivores and the cavemen can all get along??♀️ I love it. And because it’s no bake, that means no heating up the kitchen, and you can make it ahead beautifully. Just keep it in the fridge, try not to cave and cut yourself a slice, and it’ll stay perfect for at least a day or two until you’re ready to serve. How’s that for for an easier summer?
You’ll love this vegan no bake cookie dough cheesecake because it’s easy to make, super stunning, and creamy, sweet, and rich. It’s dairy-free, gluten-free, grain-free, and refined-sugar free, as well as vegan and paleo. A tart cheesecake flavor blends with a heady cookie dough richness for a vegan no bake dessert you’ll just love this summer. To make this vegan no bake cookie dough cheesecake, I used…
