Sweets have always been a special treat for me. Growing up, after every holiday, my Dad and I had a ritual where we would go to Long's and fill up a cart with holiday sale candy. Yes, a whole cart! The fun didn't stop there. We'd then hide it in different places in the house so my Mom wouldn't find it and try to feed us carrots instead. Months after my Dad died, my sister and I found a drawer full of Easter candy - so we stuffed our faces with Cadbury eggs and marshmallow peeps, crying, laughing, and chewing.
That's one of my favorite memories. Though, these days I feel sick just smelling the chemicals and processed ingredients from the candy aisle (in a non health food store). Luckily, there are many healthy alternatives that are made with recognizable, whole foods based ingredients that are incredibly delicious...and I have happily stumbled upon another example of that.
Earth Cafe makes an amazing raw, vegan cheesecake in 9 flavors. I've already tried Rockin' Raspberry, Peach Passion, Cali Lemon, and Cherry Dream. It's not possible to pick a favorite.

Thanks Christy! I wrote a long comment on your video, but then it disappeared. Did you find it? If not, you did an awesome job for your first time. I loved seeing the steps of the recipe and the finished product. Great having your website at the bottom of the vid and how the scenes blended together. You'll have to teach me!
