I had imagined this raspberry cheesecake having different layers of pink with a slight swirl on top.
I also wanted to use agar agar this time. It's the first time I've posted a vegan cheesecake recipe using agar agar. The reason being is that I really wanted a cheesecake that would keeps it's form/shape even when the temperature starts to heat up.
Vgan cheesecake that are tofu based or solely rely on a cashew/coconut base tend to not do well in warmer weather. That being said this vegan raspberry cheesecake still tastes best chilled but you really don't need to rush putting it in the fridge the minute you've taken it out. Plus agar agar sets the cake so nicely that edges almost seem flawless.
It's even prettier from the top! Extra fresh raspberries aren't even needed for a garnish but I think it gives this vegan raspberry cheesecake a whimsical touch that is perfect for easter/spring/summer parties.
The raspberry swirl reaches deep into the vegan raspberry cheesecake and the velvety, rich cream with just a touch of sweetness is hard to resist. Date sweetened desserts are so wonderful!
One of my favorite parts was actually the crust. So much so that the crust could be a delicious granola bar in itself.but that's another recipe ;)

Ingredients
- Crust
- 3 Medjool Dates
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
- 1 pinch Salt
- Coconut Base
- 1 cup Raw Cashews (soaked in water for at least 2 hours, overnight is best for creamiest results, be sure to pat them dry with a paper towel before using or the extra liquid can ruin the cake)
- 3 cups Coconut Cream (from roughly 2 14oz (400ml) can of coconut milk - see notes!)
- 1/8 cup Fresh Lemon Juice
- Raspberry Base
- 4 cups Fresh Raspberries
- 3 Medjool Dates
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon 8g Agar Agar Powder or 3 tablespoons Agar Agar Flakes
- Garnish
- Fresh Raspberries
- Edible or decorative flowers
- US Customary - Metric
Instructions
- Prepare the cheesecake crust by pulsing the crust ingredients (dates, coconut, and salt) in a food processor. Be careful not to blend the ingredients. The crust should still have some texture to it. Press the coconut-date mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 6" cake ring (see notes). Set aside.
- Prepare the coconut base by blending the soaked cashews and 1 cup of the coconut cream. Slowly add more coconut cream until well blended. Then add the lemon juice. Don't over mix the lemon juice with the coconut-cashew mixture or the coconut cream will begin to curdle. Divide the coconut base evenly among 4 bowls. This should equal to slightly less than 1 cup in each bowl or roughly 205g. Set aside.

Much has been said about the latest in the healthcare sector. Politicians' continue to bicker and have no solid plan to replace the current plan. Certain Analysts believe if this Trump Administration plan passes the Senate their proposal will leave over 23 million people without coverage by the year 2026. The Affordable Care Act law is and was simply put in place to help the American people who were once unable to get any type of coverage, finally get the care he or she may need. Secondly, it has also helped more than enough individuals with pre-existing conditions get coverage as well. And thirdly there is the concern of affordability; this is for people who do not have enough money to pay for insurance on their own, the current law provides financial assistance for those eligible to receive money from the government.
The problem with today's guidelines are the plans are based on: age, geographic location, the ability to pay, the rising cost of medical technology and taxes. Notice there is nothing mentioned about your overall health conditions. Until the underwriting process is brought back into the equation, then insurers' will never be able to accurately measure their risk and set premium prices at affordable rates. The message to insurers' is the fact that no one should be denied health insurance due to their finances or health related conditions to help protect against their financial losses when and if they occurred.
During this era a majority of insurance companies especially those that specialize in the health sector jumped on the band wagon with lower premiums knowing financial assistance would be there to help pay for coverage. Plans were and are designed to basically take the American peoples' money first before paying any claims. Once the claims began to come from more than enough people, then insurers' realized their premiums were set too low and began experiencing financial losses. There is no coincidence today why as consumers we hear about large health carriers pulling out of the marketplace and are no longer willing to participate this coming 2018 season under the ACA format.
The solution for consumers, we have to educate ourselves and grasp a good understanding and not listen to all the rhetoric in the media. We need a suite of insurance products to benefit us in the event there are some types of loss. Whether its a loss of life, the inability to work for certain period of time, or failing health our money needs to be protected at reasonable rates. Do this now while you are still healthy with the right kind of life and health insurance plans; underwriting is the key.
There are more than enough life and health insurance companies who offer benefits to protect your money. They never moved into this whole affordable care dilemma. Insurance today is still being sold on the premise of an individual's risk factors. These type of plans whether they are: accident, cancer, critical illness, dread disease, hospitalization, preventive care and wellness, also known as MEC (minimum essential coverage) or life insurance policies are and will always be available.
The Affordable Care Act is a good law that needs to be revised and not replaced. In today's environment of government uncertainty, why listen to such chaos? "People perish because of a lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6a. Now that you have been given this knowledge, perish not; be encouraged and do the right thing for your family and your finances.
