Biting into a cheesecake is always the best part of the day, right? But what if you could take home a little cheesecake in the shape of a cookie? No mess, no forks, but all its glorious flavor! Today we show you how to bake vegan strawberry cheesecake cookies from fresh strawberries!
This recipe is really fun. Think of a soft cookie that uses chopped strawberries instead of chocolate chips and is filled with velvety cream cheese. Sound complicated? It really isn’t! Below we show you an easy way to stuff cream cheese into the cookies with minimal effort.
As you can tell from the recipe title, we made this recipe vegan. So we didn’t use any eggs, butter or dairy products and of course no classic cream cheese either. So what cheese can you use to make these Strawberry Cheesecake Treats?
If you’re following a full vegan diet, your best, and often your only, choice is to opt for coconut-based cream cheese. That’s what we used. Vegan cream cheese is widely available these days and is easy to find even at medium sized grocers.
If you’re simply allergic to lactose instead, you might also consider a lactose-free cream cheese. For example, you could opt for lactose-free Philadelphia. You could use blitzed silken tofu instead of cream cheese, but the taste would be slightly different than classic cheesecake. It’s worth a try if you don’t want to use cheese at all.
Whatever you choose, we think you’ll fall in love with these Vegan Cheesecake Cookies. you are so ftasty, fudgy and indulgent, but healthier than classic cheesecake. All thanks to the healthy herbal ingredients we have chosen. Even if you’re reading this when strawberries are in season, you can expect even juicier results. Be sure to try it!
