I have tried quite a few new products lately, so I better get busy and blog about them! One of the foods I have missed tremendously since giving up dairy in addition to gluten is cheesecake. Cheesecake has always been one of my favorite desserts. I would choose cheesecake over pie or regular cake as a child.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When I was at Portia\u2019s Cafe in January<\/a> and realized they had dairy-free, gluten-free cheezecake I began to realized that maybe I didn\u2019t have to go without. Then I found Daiya<\/a> Cheesecake<\/a> at Raisin Rack, our local health food store, a day or two later.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition to being free of gluten and dairy, the Daiya Cheezecake is also free of soy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I followed the instructions on the box, thawing the cheezecake in the refrigerator for 5 to 6 hours, but still needed to let it sit out on the counter for a short amount of time. If there is one thing I have learned over the past 10 years of being gluten-free, and now dairy-free for the last 8 months, it is to not go into tasting something \u201cnew\u201d with any preconceived notions. I didn\u2019t want to imagine this cheezecake was going to taste identical to the cheesecake I was used to eating before. I cleared my palate and my head and dug in. Wow! I am impressed with both the flavor and texture of this cheesecake. The texture is dense and creamy, just like that of a regular cheesecake. Definitely something I will be purchasing again!<\/p>\n

In addition to the New York Cheezecake variety, Daiya also offers a Key Lime, Strawberry, and Chocolate variety. Check the store locator<\/a> to see where to find Daiya products close to you.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Have you tried the Daiya Cheezecake? If so, what did you think?<\/strong><\/p>\n
