Raw Vanilla Cheesecake

It's hard to imagine that this cheesecake doesn't have all the 'normal' ingredients like cream cheese, eggs, milk, but don't get deterred, it is just as yummy! It is light and the chocolaty, nutty crust works amazingly with the vanilla filling. You can serve it without the chocolate sauce and chocolate shavings, but I think it tops it off! It would also be great in mini single cheesecakes too. Note: the chocolate sauce isn't raw
