Refreshing cheesecake style strawberry slices are a great refreshing dessert that will impress you with its amazing combination of flavours.
Strawberry season has begun! We love them so much, and they are also great in desserts, so we made this delicious, light and refreshing dessert with them. If you love cheesecake, this dessert is perfect for you! The cheesecake taste and texture is created by tofu and soy yogurt, which are excellent vegan substitute when combined with lemon, vanilla and syrup.
These strawberry slices consist of three delicious layers, which complement each other perfectly. The crust is made without oil, instead we used almond butter, which is a great source of healthy fats and also really tasty. It is topped with refreshing cheesecake cream and a delicious strawberry topping, which create a wonderful dessert that is impossible to resist!
Instead of strawberries, you can also use other fruits like raspberries, blueberries, cherries and make your own version. Although the slices consist of three layers, preparation is pretty quick and easy.
