No Bake, Dairy-Free, Peanut Butter Cheesecake
Get ready for the ultimate gluten and dairy-free dessert! You know I love a clean ingredient yet delicious dessert to satisfy that sweet tooth and this No Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake is it! It has the perfect graham cracker and cinnamon crust, a hint of peanut butter, a creamy filling, and then it’s drizzled with peanut butter and chocolate and sprinkled with candy pieces. Like, you can’t go wrong. Not to mention, it’s made with clean ingredients too! Winning all around!
Cashews are the star of this cheesecake. When little boy got diagnosed with gluten and dairy allergies, I experimented with cashews and all of the things you can do with them. If you have a dairy allergy or intolerance, cashews are a great replacement because of how creamy they are! We buy them in bulk at Costco because of how many we use. They are great for sauces and of course, yummy desserts!

If you’re not a fan of peanut butter
I love this no bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake because you can easily change up the flavor! You can just eliminate the peanut butter powder and have it be like a classic cheesecake and then top it with strawberry, raspberry, or blueberry. I have done all of those and they are all delicious! Another fun option would be to add pumpkin puree and a little cinnamon in place of the peanut butter powder to make a pumpkin cheesecake!
Caraway Bakeware Set Honest Review
I can’t end this without giving a shoutout to this gorgeous pan. It is the white cake pan from the Caraway’s Iconic collection. You are going to obsessed over this bakeware collection. I have had their pans for years so I knew their bakeware set would be just as good. Not only are they stunning, they are toxic-free, clean SO easy. Nothing sticks! I honestly get excited to cook and bake when I am using these pans because of how pretty they are and how easy to clean. I love cooking and baking but it’s the cleaning I dread. These pans make the dreaded clean up so much better! If you need a new bakeware set, definitely check them out. I’ll add the link here.
I would love to know if you try this recipe and what you think!
