This top-shelf vegan strawberry margarita cheesecake is homemade, no bake, and pairs well with tacos.
I’m on a cheesecake kick lately – as evidenced here – and I wanted to create a cheesecake recipe that fit right in for Cinco de Mayo. This vegan strawberry margarita cheesecake definitely does the trick. Why drink your margaritas when you can have them as cheesecake? Okay, okay, you can have both!
Why You'll Love This Recipe
- You can make it ahead of time and freeze it so that you can have it waiting patiently for whenever you want to break it out.
- It doesn’t require any baking.
- It tastes like a margarita – salt optional.
- Can I freeze this cheesecake? You can! This is a great make-ahead recipe. To freeze, you simply place in the freezer instead of the fridge during that step of the instructions. Just thaw in the fridge when you want to have it. Don’t put your toppings on before freezing because they may not thaw well. Just add them when you intend to serve.
- Is this cheesecake okay for kids? Because this cheesecake is not baked, the alcohol is NOT cooked out of this recipe. I served a piece to my neighbor and she told me that she could feel the effects of the tequila. I do not recommend giving this dessert to anybody under 21.
