One person's overripe pear is another person's perfect snacking pear. Fortunately, this easy vegan pear cake recipe can be made with a slightly firm pear or a soft or more ripe pear. So, if you prefer to snack on firm pears but have a few pears in your kitchen that you consider overripe, give them new life with this delicious, quick vegan pear cake recipe. 

For this recipe, I used California Bartlett Pears, as I did last week with my recipes for Pear Juice, 3 Delicious Ways. California Pears are in stores now, for just a few weeks in summer. To enjoy the ripeness you prefer, buy greener Bartletts to ripen at home. As they ripen and become more sweet and juicy, they will turn a golden yellow colour.

Pear Juice 3 Delicious Ways

Pear Juice 3 Ways

Summer brings an abundance of healthy, delicious fruit, including pears. Recently, I've been juicing pears to make incredible, homemade, tasty pear juice. I often combine pear juices with ginger, cinnamon and other juices. I'm sharing three simple and delicious pear juice recipes with you today. Of course, there are endless other combinations you can make when juicing pears. Try these juice recipes with pears and hopefully be inspired to create your own lovely combinations!

Right now I'm taking advantage of the availability of California Bartlett Pears, which arrive in our stores mid-summer for a short time, several weeks before Canadian pears. California Pears contain antioxidants, and are a good source of fibre, and a source of Vitamin C, potassium and folic acid. When juicing pears, you do lose some of the fibre, but you still get antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.

Vegan Mini Raspberry Cheesecakes On The Reducetarian Website

 Vegan Mini Raspberry Cheesecakes

Dairy-free cheesecake doesn't just exist - it's also delicious! Although the trend is cashew-based vegan cheesecakes now, I have been making tofu cheesecakes for the past two decades. Both options are great - see my gluten-free, raw, vegan mini kiwi cheesecakes for a cashew-based option.

I have partnered once again with the Reducetarian Foundation to bring you a new vegan cheesecake recipe - mini raspberry cheesecakes made with medium-firm tofu. Find the recipe among all of the tempting plant-based recipes on the Reducetarian Foundation website.
