Blueberry & White chocolate cheesecake

Well, HELLO! 
It has been for-freaking-ever since I wrote a blog post. But I'm back, and I'm coming at ya.. hard!

As you can see I gave my site a bit of a fresh-up because new beginnings call for new layouts! ..right? Haha

To celebrate the new site and new beginnings, I decided to whip up this bad boy for you guys.
It's a creamy & dreamy cheesecake. Of course all vegan and as healthy as possible. If you enjoyed this recipe and decide to recreate it, be sure to tag me on Instagram. I love seeing your creations!
