What is the one thing that completes every meal? Right on, a fantastic dessert.

I’m totally into sweet things recently and if you check out all my Vegan Dessert recipes you will spot my Nocciolato Hazelnut Cream Pie or my Stracciatella Cream Pie as newest additions.

But I won’t stop just here.

I hope you will get a soft spot for this Lemon Cheesecake Mousse. It’s incredibly creamy with a sweet and tart contrast. Easy, elegant, crowd pleasing and oh boy so delicious.

Yes I admit it, I could eat this almost every day. But I try to reserve this is for the weekends or special occasions, friends. Because it’s so good, it needs to be special.

And it’s the super dessert dream special I can add to my Cheesecake Recipes. It’s a perfect fit to my hearty Savory Cheesecake and my Raw Vegan Strawberry Peanut Butter Cheesecake.

For the mousse, we go back to the blender.

Combine vegan cream cheese, cashews, lemon juice + zest, maple syrup and blend until you have smooth cream. Give it over the bottom and chill until serving.

Or just serve straight away, done.

If you need it a bit fancier, garnish with some fresh raspberries and mint, sprinkle with some lemon zest. Possibilities are endless.

I know lemons don’t come immediately to mind when we think about superfoods. But they are one and one that we should not ignore.

Did you know that lemon juice contains a ton of antioxidants? That is helps to prevent kidney stones or can support weight loss?

I recommend you check out this article, giving you additional “10 Healthy Reasons to Start Squeezing Lemons“.

Should the cashews be soaked beforehand?

Hi Tina! It depends on your blender! There is no need to soak, If you have a high speed blender. Otherwise cashews should be soaked!
