Vegan Cheesecake Filling: Okay, the star of this cheesecake is definitely the cranberry raspberry center. It is so delicious and adds that pop of flavor to the creamy cheesecake base. It’s also made with Patience Fruit & Co. frozen cranberries. I’ve used their cranberries for several recipes before (I’ll link at the end of this blog post), and they are so dang delicious. Also perfect for this time of year.

Cranberries: Patience Fruit & Co. practices organic farming, meaning they don’t use genetically modified ingredients, or chemical artificial fertilizers or pesticides while growing. Cranberries themselves are so healthy for you, with polyphenols, a micronutrient that is packed with antioxidants. This antioxidant has a ton of health benefits like: 

• Can help lower blood sugar levels
• Great for your heart
• Can help prevent blood clots
• Promote healthy digestion 
• Great for brain function 

Combine these powerful tart berries with the sweetness of raspberries, and you have the perfect combination for a no-bake vegan cheesecake filling. Voila!
