You don't have to be vegan to enjoy a vegan meal. Regardless of taste, there is no question that vegan food is good for the body. This does not apply to dessert, however, as vegan desserts can be as sweet and satisfying as nonvegan desserts.
Chefs of Cruise Cruises have perfected desserts to the point where they are a famous highlight on any Crystal experience. There is a dessert for anyone aboard a Crystal cruise, from chocolate lovers to fruit followers and, of course, vegans.
Crystal Chefs don't selfishly hide their recipes from the world, however. The Crystal River Cruises' culinary team has shared their vegan cheesecake recipe, which provides a sweet and creamy alternative to traditional cheesecake.
Crystal River Cruises' Vegan Cheesecake Recipe:
Homemade Graham Crust
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
