How is cheesecake healthy?

Some Fun Facts about the Avocados in this recipe are that they contain more potassium than a banana, they have 26% of your daily dose of Vitamin K, and they are rich in fiber, specifically the soluble kind, which are known for feeding healthy gut bacteria!  The crust on this cheesecake is made up almost entirely of walnuts (if you want to read more about the AMAZINGNESS of walnuts, check out my recipe here), but if you can’t do that, you can try cashew nuts or almond flour instead.

Super bonus if the berries you are using are in season at the moment!   Then you can source local fresh and raw toppings for this dessert.  The strawberry frosting is amazing, like it’s the icing on the cake.  I think the topping is my family’s favorite part of this entire recipe.  It really helps to bring it all together.

If berries aren’t your thing, or maybe you’re allergic to avocados or just don’t like the lime flavor, I’ve got you!  Check out my delicious Raw Chocolate Cheesecake version of this recipe!
