Chocolate Espresso Vegan Cheesecake Dessert Recipe 

Chocolate Espresso Vegan Cheesecake is a baked cheesecake-style vegan dessert made with cashews. This vegan cheesecake is baked like a traditional style cheesecake – with an added hint of espresso flavor – and topped with chocolate ganache. I have been on a bit of a coffee chocolate baking kick these last couple weeks, if you are looking for some more vegan coffee desserts, try these:
