I’ve had the pleasure to get to chat to Jules Galloway the other day, a gidget from Byron Bay. Not only is she a gidget but she’s also a naturopath, a raw food artist and a legend when it comes to raw desserts. It’s her mission to take the fear and boredom out of gluten, dairy and sugar free living and she’s shared this divine recipe with us.
Jules’ Blueberry Cheesecake ticks all the boxes for happy gidgets:
1. easy to make – tick; 2. healthy (believe it or not, no dairy – cheese free cheesecake…yes, it’s true, gluten or sugar) – tick; 3. yummy – tick
