Dairy-Free Mango Cheesecake

A healthy plant-based protein-rich cheesecake no longer has to be plain and boring. This mango cheesecake is made from soft tofu, giving it a silky smooth texture. It has a sweet and rich tropical flavor from mango and coconut cream, and a drizzle of homemade chocolate glaze. It is gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, no-sugar-added, and can be vegan.
