I’m super duper excited about this post today for 2 reasons! One…I mean, look at these. These are to die for. Two…I’m guest posting over at one of my favorite blogs, Vegan Miam. Rika is a sweet friend of mine that asked me to write a guest post and I was super thrilled about it. I absolutely adore her, her blog and her creativity. She is amazing and you should totally be following her blog if you aren’t already. Get on it. The inspiration for this recipe and post came from my love of cherries and the fact it is cherry season. I have several other recipes coming that feature cherries….

I wanted to create something really special….so I did dessert of course, but not just any dessert. THESE. These cheesecakes are totally cashew-free, oil-free and require no freezing! They are a cheesecake version of the classic Black Forest Cake. Go check out the post to see how I came up with this amazing recipe! HERE

    These look to die for! I love black forest cake and cheesecake, so the idea of combing them both together just sounds wonderful. Can’t wait to try them, they look fabulous!

    Hi there, would it be possible to substitute almonds for the pecans?

      Hi Cindy! Sure, just blend it until the mixture forms clumps, which shouldn’t take long. You could use this crust I made for my Nutella bars here and just use all almonds. Please come back and let me know how it turns out 🙂

    Girl, HOW do you do it? Cashew free, oil free? Heading over to check out your guest post right now, especially because I LOVE black forest and anything cheesecake. Let me tell you how your photography gets better and better all the time. These photos are gorgeous, especially that tray full of cherries and the way the light is hitting it. Beautiful.

    These are seriously easy, decadent, and full of rich flavor! They’re the kind of thing you can bring to a dinner party and people will think you’re some kind of master pastry chef. Can’t wait to make another batch and “pretty them up” with toppings. I LOVE your recipes! (peanut butter cookies– dangerously easy and so YUM!). Thank you!
