"The Very Vegan Vixen" Cheesecake

Made with simple ingredients this 8" vegan cheesecake has a crisp vegan graham cracker crust PLUS all the tang of the classic cheesecake – without any of the diary.

East Side Cheesecakes is a love story between Julia Tokarz and Gregory Lay, who met in New York City in 2014. The pair, both actors and filmmakers, grew tired of the daily grind, so in 2019 they moved to LA. Greg became head baker at a now-famous bagel shop and Julia took on catering jobs, and when the Covid pandemic hit Julia found herself out of work and they saw the opportunity to launch their own business. They combined the fresh cream cheese that Greg had been making at the bagel shop with Julia’s mom’s Christmas cheesecake recipe, and East Side Cheesecakes was born.
