Hello Mattie!
First, thank you for this awesome website. I tried dozens of your recipes in the last couple of months and was very pleased. They are delicious and impressed most of my non vegan friends !
I didnt find a non dairy yogurt, what could I use instead for this cheesecake ?
Thanks !

Thanks maryfarrell! The vegan yogurt helps add a little extra richness and "cheesiness" to the cheesecake. To substitute, you should be able to get by with 3/4 cups non-dairy milk (preferably soy) whisked together with about 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar. Good luck!

Another new offering
Trader Joe's now has their own vegan cream cheese. The flavor and aroma are much more like dairy cream cheese than Tofutti's. The texture is a little less smooth though. No palm oil in this one. It's got the now-popular coconut oil, and also sunflower oil. Also "vegan culture" - so does that mean this one is actually fermented? Oh, and it's less expensive than Tofutti too! I paid $2.99 for it....

Well I'm very sorry but Palm oil appears in many products consumed daily, as we all know, and as heralded as it might be in the eyes of some, I do know that it can be the cause of outstanding heart burn and indigestion amongst so many people that I know. Surely this is a sign that this 'stuff' is not all that good for us, besides the worldwide wildlife's survival (orangutans amongst countless...

Absolutely Amazing!!!
These brownies are so delicious!!! They're by far the best brownies I've ever had! I've made them several times and have taken them to parties. Everyone has loved them! Thank you for sharing the recipe! :) I do have one question though. Instead of using walnuts, could I use candy canes to make like a peppermint bark brownie?
