# Raw Key Lime Cheesecakes This Vegan Dessert Recipe is a Summery Treat You Don't Need to Bake By Alyson Wyers | Published 2015-09-30 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/key-lime-cheesecake References: [buzzfeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/lilmoose/10-cheesecakes-you-wont-believe-are-vegan-1ul6a) & [thehealthyfamilyandhome](http://thehealthyfamilyandhome.com/raw-vegan-key-lime-cheesecake-with-coconut-cream-topping/) Everyone loves cheesecake, especially when it's key lime cheesecake. It is also a raw and vegan recipe, so it is perfect for people who have very particular dietary limitations or lifestyle choices. Even though the citrus flavor is a throwback to summer (so ideal for folks who are clinging to the last vestiges of warm weather), limes also tend to be in season in fall. So this is a delicious transitional dessert. From the blog The Healthy Family and Home, the dairy-free key lime cheesecake requires no baking. It is also gluten-free, grain-free and paleo-friendly. If you want to recreate it at home, you will need ingredients like macadamia nuts, almonds, medjool dates and organic lime juice. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Raw Vegan Cheesecakes:** Opportunity for the food industry to create more raw vegan cheesecake options to meet the increasing demand of plant-based and raw food diets. - **Paleo-friendly Desserts:** Opportunity for the food industry to create more paleo-friendly desserts to meet the increasing demand for grain-free and refined sugar-free options. - **Seasonal Desserts:** Opportunity for the food industry to create more seasonal desserts that incorporate fruits and flavors that are in season, as a way to provide customers with fresh and unique dessert offerings. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food Manufacturing:** Opportunity for food manufacturing companies to develop innovative products that cater to the growing demand for raw vegan and paleo-friendly desserts. - **Food Retail:** Opportunity for food retail businesses to expand their dessert offerings to include more seasonal, raw vegan, and paleo-friendly options for customers looking for healthier dessert choices. - **Nutrition and Health Coaching:** Opportunity for nutrition and health coaching businesses to develop meal plans that include seasonal, raw vegan, and paleo-friendly desserts to help clients meet their dietary requirements and health goals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Citrusy No-Bake Cheesecake Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-bake-cheesecake-kits.md) - [Key Lime Bundt Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-bundt-cakes.md) - [Vegan Pumpkin Spice Cheesecakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-spice-cheezecak.md) - [Luscious Vegan Cheesecakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-dessert-cheesecake.md) - [Crowd-Pleasing Non-Dairy Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-cheezecake.md) - [Seasonal Free-From Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/southern-roots-vegan-bakery.md) - [Dessert-Flavored Protein Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barebells-key-lime-pie.md) - [Vegan-Friendly Dessert Bases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comprital-pure-vegan.md) - [Sweet Summery Bread Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coconut-key-lime-loaf.md)
