Key Lime Raw Cheesecake

Are you craving cheesecake?  Check out this recipe for raw lime cheesecake: it’s vegan and gluten-free too!  So yummy! I made the crust to be raw and gluten-free based on nuts and dates.  The filling is an adaptation based on a recipe inspired by Cafe Gratitude.

This tofu-free soup has a wonderful thick consistency.  If you avoid nightshade vegetables, the soup is just as delicious without the onions.

Shared by Karen P. (Thanks Karen!) One of my aunts …my aunt Florence gave me this recipe …like..at least 20 yrs ago!
It makes a dense chocolate cake. She said they made this all the time during the war no eggs …because they were rationed at that time. I have no idea of the origin other than that.
