Healthiest Vegan Cheesecake

How would you feel about having a dessert that is loaded with healthy ingredients?

Vegan Green Tea Cheesecake is just the dessert to satisfy, and as my vegan daughter says, ‘it’s almost like eating a salad’!

It’s abundant with nuts and fruit, spices and flavor, and the best healthy fats one can eat.

Once assembled, it keeps beautifully in the freezer, and takes only minutes to soften enough to eat, and you don’t have to be vegan to love it!

Why Green Tea?

Color- Antioxidants – Flavor – Buzz! How about those for starters!

While the avocado brings the creamy fat to the cashew cheese and the gentle color, the green tea with a few exotic spices just bring everything!

Why Avocado In My Cheesecake?

Back in 2007, I went to live in Brazil for an empty nester adventure.

I couldn’t believe they never ate avocados with lime, garlic, and cilantro; but rather pureed with sweetened condensed milk, as desserts.

 Well, it finally caught on here in America and am I glad it did!

The healthy fat of the avocado eliminates the need for butter or cream, and in a vegan diet or lactose intolerant diet, that’s important.

But truth be known, you don’t have to be vegan to take one bite and swear this is the best creamy, flavor filled cheesecake you ever ate!

Individual Cheesecake Pans

Since this green tea cheesecake is going to chill out in the freezer, I wanted to prepare them in individual tart-like pans.

I wanted something with a removable bottom and the right portion for an individual, easy to remove and eat just one at a time.

Mason jar lids are my go-to tart pans for sweet or savory individual portions.

The lids are designed to withstand the heat for canning, so the heat of the oven or the chill of the freezer is no problem for these lids. 

The dimensions and the height are the perfect individual size, and the fact that the bottoms can be removed makes these perfect for this cheesecake!

Notes

*Cashews need to soak, just barely covered in water for 1-hour, drained and pureed in a food processor. This process is how cashew cheese is made. They are then ready to mix with the other filling ingredients.
