Cheesecake is kind of a big deal. I mean there’s an entire restaurant named after it that probably makes billions of dollars a year. And let’s just say I have created another, “Cheesecake Factory” of sorts, in my freezer because making healthy, plant-based cheesecake is my ecstasy! I have made dozens of varieties from caramel apple to orange fig to turtle. Best part about raw cheesecakes: No baking required. Which means, no water bath or risk […]

Maca, a superfood reminiscent of caramel in flavor is my new bff. Dates, a sweet sticky fruit that tastes like caramel when dried is my go-to sweetener.

After perusing some recipes, I decided to adapt one of my healthy muffin recipes to a clean eating vegan […]

Indulgent as it is, we can still healthify this much-loved dessert. “How?” You ask. Avocados, of course!
