Vegan No Bake Matcha Cheesecake
Hello & Happy Monday!!
I’ve been on a mission to explore countless variations of this classic no bake cheesecake. While going down the list I knew I had to explore a matcha option! Even though fall is around the corner, the great thing about matcha is that it’s perfect for any season.
If you know me, you know I love to pack veggies in wherever I can. If it’s green, I’m putting avocado and spinach in it! Not only do the 2 boost nutrients, but they add color, and the avocado additionally provides a smooth texture that’s perfect for cheesecake.
So while this cheesecake looks involved and time consuming, I swear on my life, it’s the most effortless dessert next to my Chocolate Avocado Cookies!
What’s fab about this recipe, is everything! It’s quick, easy, nutrient packed, low sugar, has minimal ingredients, perf for any season, and will make you look like an iron chef!
