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.
