These No-Bake Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecakes are the perfect Valentine’s treat with a creamy pink filling and vegan gluten-free chocolate cookie crust!

Usually I semi forget about Valentine’s Day until, well, Valentine’s Day. But not this year (apparently). I’m over here cranking out the heart/pink/sweet things like it’s my job. Wait…

I’m not sure what changed, but I’m definitely not mad about more berry + chocolate leftovers in my life. Cotton candy pink raspberry cream on top of a crunchy chocolate hazelnut cookie crust…mmmmm. A batch of these petite little no-bake treats stashed close by for impromptu dessert-ing – now that’s how you show yourself and your freezer that you care ♡

Between Instagram scrolling and the absurd frequency with which I visit Whole Foods, I try new healthy food products all the time. I know too much and am too good at rationalizing three dollars for a raw vegan grain-free superfood bar. Occupational hazard of being a food blogger, I suppose.

Honestly the shiny glittery excitement wears off after a while and it all just becomes a blur of snacks.

But every once in a while one of them comes out of nowhere and really surprises me. Like ingredient list double take “how is this vegan and gluten-free?” surprised. That was the situation with these new Carino™ Wafer Rolls from Edward & Sons.

Imagine the most flaky buttery cookie (or chocolate cookie!) wrapped around a core of chocolate fudge cream. Just whoa. They taste like something you’d find in a showy glass jar by the checkout at a cozy coffee shop and never in a million years guess to be vegan AND gluten-free. Yet somehow these are! My money’s on magic…

After tasting them, I had to put them back in the shipping box, shut the lid, and remove them from the kitchen just so there would be some left for cheesecake making.

So yeah, they’re pretty good.

But what’s even BETTER is a cookie crust made from them to go underneath our pretty pink cream filling.

And with the fudge center for moisture and delicate cookie outside for crunch, they were basically born to be turned into a crust. Just grind them up in a blender or food processor, add a couple of tablespoons of almond butter to hold everything together, and you have what is probably my favorite chocolate crust on the blog to date.

The raspberry layer is just as easy – soaked cashews, non-dairy yogurt, maple syrup, beet juice (for color), lemon juice, berries, and blend!

Patience while they freeze overnight – now that’s tricky.

This cheesecake filling is coconut oil free, unlike most no-bake vegan cheesecakes, so they do need to stay frozen. Five to ten minutes out on the counter to soften and the texture will be perfectly lush and creamy to bite into though. You can mix up the kind of berry you use too – blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, etc.

And even though they are very Valentine’s apropos, no one said you have to wait until next week…

Description

These No-Bake Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecakes are the perfect Valentine’s treat with a creamy pink filling and vegan gluten-free chocolate cookie crust!


Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Crust

  • 24 (204g) Carino™ Gluten-Free Wafer Rolls from Edward & Sons*
  • 2 tbsp nut/seed butter (I used almond butter)

Raspberry Beet Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups (180g) raw cashews (soaked overnight)**
  • 1/2 cup (120g) nondairy yogurt***
  • 1/4 cup (80g) maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup (60g) beet juice****
  • 1/2 cup (60g) raspberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. For the crust, grind the wafers in a food processor or blender into small crumbs.
  2. Add the nut butter. Blend again until sticky and clumpy.
  3. Place a strip of parchment paper in each muffin tin.
  4. Drop two tablespoons of the crust mixture into the bottom of each muffin. Press in firmly.
  5. Blend everything for the filling on high until smooth and creamy.
  6. Pour on top of the crusts, filling each to the top.
  7. Press a few frozen raspberries on top of each.
  8. Freeze overnight.
  9. Remove from the freezer for 10 minutes to soften. Enjoy!
  10. Keep leftovers in the freezer.

Notes

*I used a mix of the Hazelnut and Cocoa varieties.

**Or if you forget, 1 hour in boiling water will work as long as you have a high speed blender like a Vitamix.

***I used full-fat coconut yogurt. You can substitute with coconut cream.

****I used 100% beet juice from a bottle. You can also substitute with nondairy milk, but the color won’t be as bright.

    I need to clean out my freezer (or buy a bigger one??) so I can make these ASAP. Also – my head is spinning with all the delicious fruity combos that are possible with this recipe! I have lots of freeze dried fruit, spirulina and beet powder so it’s time to go a little cheesecake crazy!!

    These are sooo beautiful and absolutely perfect for Valentine’s Day! I bought Olivia some So delicious raspberry yogurt yesterday and these are only like 10,000 times better and prettier, LOL. The texture is totally dreamy and that beet color is so awesome for these. I am loving those cocoa wafers too, I’d imagine those are a delicious snack all on their own. Chocolate and raspberries are such a delicious combo too. Especially in brownie form! I love that they are so interchangeable too with other fruit, I imagine blueberries would be a gorgeous purple!

      Those wafers. Damn are they good, definitely not oil-free but I’m still amazed by the pretty simple and gf ingredient list. Yes VERY good by themselves…too good😋🙈 Omg I already thought to remake with blueberries haha! I know pink is more holiday apropos, but I just love purple/blueberry things💜 I hope you have some sweet chocolate treats planned for tomorrow too, although knowing you that’s really not even a question😊

      You can, although the color/pigment isn’t as concentrated as in beet juice so it won’t be as bright a pink. But with the raspberries, should still work fine!

    Hey Nat,

    These Cheesecakes looks cute!

    But I had an idea, is it possible to make this recipe in a whole larger Cheesecake in 6inch Springform pan like Strawberry Cheesecake or another size maybe?

    Would be awesome!

    Thanks

    Henri 😉

Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free whi Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free white chocolate and this is DEFINITELY one of them🤎🤍 That decadent chocolate + peanut butter + coconut middle 1000% deserves the creamy coating and sprinkle finish, trust me💗 Recipe below…

Vegan White Chocolate Valentine’s Truffles
-1 package @emmysorganics Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies
-1/4 cup (65g) almond or peanut butter
-1/3 cup (60g) dark chocolate chips, melted
-Pinch of salt
-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-8oz vegan white chocolate.
-Optional: natural pink sprinkles + 1/4 cup more melted dark chocolate for topping

Melt the white chocolate. Pour a small spoonful into the bottom of each cavity of the mold, and tilt to coat the bottom and up the sides of each heart. Freeze. Set aside the remaining white chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate chips. In a food processor combine the Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies, almond/peanut butter, melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Process until smooth, it should be the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Place about 2 tsps of the chocolate mixture into each heart and press to flatten. Cover with remaining melted white chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set. Carefully remove from the molds. Optionally drizzle with more dark chocolate and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!

Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyy Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyyyy too many medjool recipes on the blog to mention, so I picked this friday-easy, highly-fudgy, personal fave: No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
