Butternut Squash Cheesecake
This butternut squash cheesecake is genius—it's lighter, more flavorful, and just as rich and decadent as its pumpkin cheesecake cousin. This one is baked Basque cheesecake-style, hot and fast, needs no crust, and will be nicely browned on top. It may crack, but really, do we care when it is this creamy and delicious?
Ricotta Pound Cake with Lemon and Blueberries
This gluten-free lemony ricotta pound cake made with almond flour and a sugar substitute is sure to delight with fresh blueberries in every bite. Top with fresh blueberries, a dusting of sweetener, or make your own glaze.
Vegan Berry and Apple Crumble
This is one of my favorite vegan desserts that takes very little time and effort. In order to make the crumble topping vegan, I use coconut oil instead of butter. The coconut oil must be solid so you might need to put it in the fridge for a while to harden up.
