Here in Scotland, strawberry season is coming to an end. And although autumn is upon us, I wanted to make one last tribute to my beloved strawberries before we make way for all things pumpkin-spiced. I decided I’d do this by creating some delicious strawberry cheesecake bites. Vegan strawberry cheesecake bites, of course. The recipe took a little bit of adjusting but in the end they turned out absolutely delicious!
