No Bake Vegan Cheesecake Recipe

What is up my friends welcome back! Today I bring you a simple no bake cheesecake recipe that delivers. I’ve tried so many ways of perfecting vegan cheesecake. It’s really hard to pull off the perfect texture and taste but I’ve got to tell you that this cheesecake is the best I’ve ever done! Read on for the recipe.

I decided to do a multi-colored cheesecake. The only way I was able to achieve this was to create two cakes and combine them at the end. I didn’t feel the need to purchase a special divided pan just to have the color idea I wanted so I just made more!

If you want to do exactly what I did then you need to create two cakes and just repeat the crust ingredients twice. I’m giving you both flavors for the filling so you have options my friends! I have done a triple berry filling before but never something like tangerines. I have to admit I favored the new flavor this time around. I am not sure if it was because it was new to me or if it was just that good, but whatever it was, this case turned out to be a win! So let’s get into this very simple recipe below.
