Yes, cheesecake is typically made with cream cheese, and commonly also contains other dairy ingredients such as butter, heavy cream, and/or sour cream. However, this cheesecake is made paleo and dairy-free by using soaked raw cashews and coconut cream! But don't worry, it's soft, creamy, and still tastes like the dairy-filled cheesecake you know and love - no one will ever know the difference!
