Ingredients

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon dairy-free margarine softened
  • 8 oz container dairy-free cream cheese I use Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese
  • 1 container of Daiya Provolone Style Slices
  • 2 packets of Truvia or sub ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 cup dried pitted cherries
  • Graham crackers for serving

Instructions

  • Reserve about ¼ cup of the graham cracker crumbs to press on the outside of the cheesecake ball when it's done.
  • Prepare the Graham Cracker Crumb Mixture by placing the remaining graham cracker crumbs and the softened margarine in a food processor. Pulse to combine. Remove about half of this graham cracker crumb mixture into a separate bowl. Set aside.
  • To the food processor with the graham cracker crumb mixture add the dairy-free cream cheese, provolone slices, and Truvia packets (or sugar). Pulse until smooth, stopping to push down ingredients as necessary. Add a handful of the dried cherries and pulse one more time for a second or two. The goal is to distribute the cherries throughout the mixture, but keeping them mostly whole.
  • On a serving plate, spoon out a small portion of the cream cheese mixture. Over that spread a layer of the prepared graham cracker crumb mixture. Top this with a couple of the dried cherries. Then add another layer of the cream cheese mixture, followed by some of the graham cracker crumb mixture and a few dried cherries. Repeat these steps, finishing with the cream cheese mixture at the top. You will have a nice, tall stack of layers at this point. Use either a spoon (or your washed hands) to begin pressing the mixture down, smoothing the cream cheese part down around the sides. It's alright if a few cherries or graham cracker crumbs show throw the sides, but mostly you want it to be cream cheese. Place a large bowl over the top of this and refrigerate about 10-15 minutes (or longer if possible), until the ball has firmed up.
  • Before serving, sprinkle the cherry cheese cake ball with the reserved graham cracker crumbs. Serve with graham cracker pieces.
