This nearly raw, no-bake “cheesecake” is a festive and healthy Valentine’s Day dessert, but easy enough to prepare any time you’re craving a creamy, indulgent treat! There’s no shortage of raw/rawish cheesecakes around these parts, but I love creating unique flavor combinations and this Orange, Berry & Beet version (with a little spicy kick from ginger!) is certainly worth sharing.
