Gluten-Free Vegan Lemon and Blueberry Cheesecake is lovely! Just lovely. Light, fresh, delicious and dreamy without a hint of cheese or coconut. I use frozen blueberries out of season. Frozen makes more sense sustainably and environmentally and we have such a short blueberry season in the UK.
A great main to serve with Gluten-Free Vegan Lemon and Blueberry Cheesecake is Beetroot and Millet Mega-Salad. Or how about one of my favourite salads, Porcini and Cavolo Nero Lasagne for something a little more substantial?
