Raw Jackfruit Cheesecake
I have an incredible dessert recipe to share with you today. This raw jackfruit cheesecake bursts with flavour!! If you haven't tried this tropical fruit, you're missing out. It tastes like juicy fruit gum and is really sweet. Since most of us don't have access to the fresh fruit, we can easily find dried jackfruit. It's chewy and sweet. It can be soaked and incorporated into recipes, eaten dried as a snack, and for an extra decadent treat it can be dipped into chocolate just like I did to garnish the cake.
