        My go to vegan chocolate cheesecake recipe.

        The added sweetness of the gooey vegan caramel center adds another textural element to this gluten free chocolate cheesecake and really balances the flavor.

        How to make a vegan caramel cheesecake.

        This chocolate caramel cheesecake is super simple to make, it’s just the case of blending each element and layering them, with the addition of making a caramel - vegan.

        Making a caramel can be quite daunting at first and can be quite difficult to get right. But I’ve come up with a super simple method that goes right every time!

        Here’s the recipe -> 3 Ingredient Vegan Gluten free Caramel Sauce

        Start by making the cheesecake base, by blending the cocoa powder, vegan, gluten free biscuits - or non vegan/gluten free alternatives. Just make sure these biscuits are plain.

        Blend the biscuits until it reaches a crumb consistency then add the melted butter, blitz again until it reaches a wet sand consistency.

        Pat the biscuit base into a round loose bottom tin and set aside.

        Vegan chocolate cheesecake filling:

        Mix together the vegan cream cheese, sugar and cocoa powder, until creamy.

        In a separate bowl heat the vegan orange chocolate and plant based milk (I used oat)  and transfer to the cream cheese mix. Mix until fully incorporated. 

        Transfer to a piping bag and pipe ½ the cheesecake filling on top of the base. Then with the end of a spatula/spoon. Make a damn in the center - we will fill this with caramel.

        The vegan caramel - here is my foolproof vegan caramel recipe you're going to want to use/save.

        Pour the vegan caramel into the dam and pipe on the remaining cheesecake filling. And evenly spread it around to create a flat surface.

        Pop the cheesecake in the freezer for 2hrs - the cheesecake should be stiff an hold it’s shape.

        To decorate, I went for a very simple yet elegant design - a chocolate shaving border. To do this simply, grate 4 chocolate pieces on the thick side of the grater [the one with the larger horizontal lines] and decorate it along the outside of the cheesecake to create a border.

        Slice and enjoy.
