We love to set out a spread of desserts to enjoy after our holiday meal and invite over friends for some fellowship and fun to round out the holiday. Many traditional holiday desserts are filled with processed sugars, dairy, and artificial ingredients that we work so hard to keep out of our diets. However, we don’t want to go through the holidays and special occasions feeling as if we’re deprived of the celebration.

We simply have to cook smarter to make sure that we have treats that are healthful while being decadent and indulgent at the same time. We look for dairy-free alternatives to our favorite cheeses. And the natural sweeteners available are incredible!
This Allergy-Friendly Cheesecake has all of the flavors without any of the harmful ingredients that most desserts have. You really can have your cake and eat it, too! I’ve even adapted a cookie crumb pie crust recipe so you won’t sacrifice a single teaspoon of flavor with this recipe!
