Oreo Cheesecake
When I discovered how sensitive I am to dairy, I was determined to discover a way to still bake cheesecake that is dairy free. It has become a lot easier over time with how many dairy alternatives there are these days! When you potentially discover a food does not resonate with your body anymore, that does not mean you can no longer have the foods you love. This is an opportunity to get creative and make recipes you have loved in new ways. This dairy free cheesecake will satisfy all your cheesecake desires!
(Inspiration for this recipe came from here.)
