Snickers Cheesecake

The Snickers Cheesecake is a no-bake, vegan, and gluten-free dessert. It features a crunchy almond and walnut base, a creamy cashew cheesecake filling with peanut butter and coconut cream, and a rich chocolate-peanut butter ganache, made with Pascha's 85% Organic Vegan Extra Bitter-Sweet Dark Chocolate Chips. A peanut butter caramel layer adds sweetness, and the entire dessert is topped with melted chocolate and optional peanuts. It's perfect for a plant-based, indulgent treat.
