Raw & Gluten Free Vegan Raspberry Cheesecake

Recently, my Great Aunt came into some money and was generous enough to share it with her family. For such a long time, I’ve wanted a proper multi-purpose food processor to assist me with all the delicious vegan recipes that I’ve had to dismiss in the past. Due to my unexpected windfall, I was able to order my Phillips Multi-Use Food Processor!

I wanted to christen the food processor with a Raw Vegan Cheesecake, as the first one I ever made using a regular blender took a lot of effort and the end result was not particularly aesthetically pleasing.

This time around, the process was effortless and enjoyable, therefore I wanted to share this simple, delicious recipe with you!
