Week 23: Cheesecake - Lactose-Free Mini Cheesecakes [Baking]

Intro from Baking Challenge: This week's challenge is...cheesecake! There are many kinds of this decadent treat. Well known styles include New York, Chicago, Pennsylvania Dutch, and Roman. There are, of course, all kinds of fun flavored cheesecakes as well, like Chocolate Grasshopper or Key Lime. Vegan or lactose intolerant? There's a cheesecake for you too - made using cashews and coconut milk.

Ignore the wax paper tabs - they're for easy removal!

As a lifelong lactard, it's always a struggle to find cheese favorites that won't wage war on my stomach.  So I was very excited to find this recipe for vegan cheesecake.  I know "vegan" anything tends to strike fear into the hearts of meat eaters, which is why I labeled these "lactose-free" - plus, since I used honey, they are typically non-vegan.  However, they are most definitely delicious!  I decided to make four flavors - peanut butter chocolate chip, coconut, strawberry, and blueberry.

Ready to eat!
