I have to admit, I’ve always loved cheesecake, but I’ve rarely tried/baked a good cheesecake. As is usually the case with me, I had no peace until I made/created it to my liking. Let’s be clear, this is not a classic cheesecake, not only is there no cheese in it, but it hides a little black surprise – poppy seeds, which I adore! For me it’s a win-win combination.
It contains white light cream with a silky texture, poppy seed cream and gluten-free sponge cake without oil. So can it be better?
Now that I’ve already started with the unusual ingredients, I have to reveal to you the secret for the finest biscuit that is gluten-free and oil-free.
One banana is responsible for everything, which perfectly combines all the ingredients, and because of it, this gluten-free biscuit is compact, soft and does not crumble!
Of course, you can use the recipe for it in other combinations. Chocolate tart comes to mind now… you see, the combinations are numerous.
I hope you will give this cheesecake a chance and that it will delight you as much as it did me.

Hi, I’m Vinka and I’m an avid plant-based fan. As long as I can remember, I like to cook and come up with slightly healthier recipes. In order to preserve all my dishes, I decided to create a blog Veganica.hr where you can find a lot of interesting and delicious vegan recipes. In my spare time I cook, photograph, read, hike, travel and explore the world of plant-based nutrition. I equally enjoy sweet and savory dishes, but I especially enjoy making raw cakes. My desire is to show how vegan dishes are simple, healthy and, above all, very tasty 🙂
