We love a good dessert here at MNB 😋 This Raw Strawberry Cheesecake will be one of our go-to desserts as the weather starts to heat up and BBQ / holiday season gets into full swing!
It’s also vegan friendly so you know that all of your plant based pals will get to enjoy it too! xx

Method
- Grease and line a 20 x 20 cm (8 x 8 in) brownie or slice tray.
- To make the base, combine all the ingredients in a blender and blitz to a fine crumb. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared tray and refrigerate while you make the filling.
