Raw Vanilla Cranberry Coconut “Cheezecake”

If you’re dairy-free or simply want to opt for a dairy-free thanksgiving, that doesn’t mean you have to miss out. In fact, going dairy free, even if you’re not lactose intolerant, can have a multitude of health benefits (like clearing up skin and gut issues, reducing mucus, preventing cancer and osteoporosis, among others).

This raw vanilla cranberry coconut “cheezecake” takes dessert to a whole other level. It will actually leave your body fully nourished instead of tired and bloated. Plus, cranberries provide our bodies with a multitude of health benefits like helping get rid of urinary tract infections, fighting inflammation, strengthening the immune system, preventing cancer, supporting the digestive tract, fighting heart disease and keeping our memory sharp.

The cake is incredibly easy to make, too! The crust ingredients get whipped together in a food processor, and the filling is blended in a blender (or food processor). The next step is a quick assembly, and then freeze for 5-6 hours. The cake should be defrosted for about 1 hour before consumption.
