Low-Carb Raspberry Mousse Cheesecake (Vegan, Gluten Free), a healthy dessert for Valentine's Day, but super delicious and easy to make. The base is made with cashew nuts and dates, and the mousse with aquafaba and raspberry puree. A fantastic low-carb dessert for every occasion. The agar-agar is a healthier option than gelatin, and vegan friendly too.

- Sprinkle over the agar-agar, and leave for cook for a further 3-4 minutes until it becomes like a soft jelly. Leave to cool.
