Raspberry Vanilla Cheesecake (vegan + gluten-free)

Hey my dears,

Some time ago I presented you a (vegan) “blueberry cheesecake” and today I would like to share a new gluten-free version with raspberries and 2 layers. I mean, who doesn‘t love a creamy cheese cake with a nutty chocolate base, followed by a refreshing vanilla cream and finished with a fruity pink raspberry cream?

I think this cake does not just taste heavenly, but also lets spring fever come up!
It‘ll definitely sweeten every rainy day in a healthy way.

This time I made the chocolate base without adding any flour. It’s just based on ground hazelnuts. This makes the cake gluten-free, very aromatic and nutty in flavor and if you use a sugar-free sweetener, it‘s even low carb.
However, if you don‘t like hazelnuts or if you have allergies to nuts, you can of course use another nut variety for the base, or simply take the recipe from the “Blueberry Cheesecake” which has a nut-free base.

For the creamy cheesecake layers you don‘t even need to use the oven. Because both layers, the vanilla and the fruity raspberry layer, are made without baking.

I only used vegan ingredients for this recipe. So the cake is without eggs, without butter and without dairy.
But if you’re not vegan, you can also make the recipe with conventional dairy products and eggs. That should work, too! ? Anyways, I notice both ways in the recipe.

Instead of raspberries, you can of course also add any other fruits that you like. So feel free in your creativity!

Let’s start with the recipe:
