From Jolinda Hackett, your Guide to Vegetarian Food
I can't speak for all women, but cheesecake can totally make this girl swoon. A homemade vegan cheesecake, prepared with love, is much better than a silly teddy bear, and much more creative than chocolates (not that there's anything wrong with some vegan chocolates for Valentine's Day!). Scratch that. Who needs an excuse to make a cheesecake? They're welcome any time!

Mini cheesecakes
These little individually-sized cheesecakes are topped with a citrus and strawberry glaze. They're made with vanilla wafers as the crust, and baked in muffin tins. Try serving them with a German riesling wine.

Flavored cheesecakes
When a plain cheesecake just won't do, get creative with these fun vegan cheesecake flavors:
  • Pumpkin tofu cheesecake
  • Key lime cheesecake
  • Peanut butter cookie crust (pictured)

  • Banana maple rum vegan cheesecake
    Do I really need to say anything here? The picture says it all, doesn't it?

    Cheesecakes for other specialty diets
    These cheesecakes aren't vegan, but if you're eating low-fat or gluten-free, give them a try:
  • Gluten-free egg-free cheesecake
  • Reduced fat cottage cheese cheesecake
