Blueberry Cheesecake (Vegan and Raw)

This might just be the best cheesecake you've ever tasted. Rich with nuts and flavored with summer blueberries, you won't believe that this is a raw, vegan dessert. Other than the 20 minutes of prep time, there are about 4 hours of freezing time. Recipe and photo by Laura Marquis, from Sweets in the Raw: Naturally Healthy Desserts, reprinted by permission.
