This is one for lovers (said in my best Carrie Bradshaw voice) of cheesecake. I expect you’re looking at the photos and thinking this is made from dairy products. Nope. This beauty is 💯% vegan goodness and tastes, looks and smells just like the cheesecakes you love.
The base is made from a decadent blend of macadamia nuts, medjool dates and desiccated coconut. Not a Nice biscuit to be seen! And the filling is made deliciously divine from a mixture of cashews, maple syrup, coconut oil, lemon juice, vanilla extract and water. I didn’t think my blender could reach the creamy, smooth consistency needed to pass the cheesecake test but it passed with flying colours.
The recipe included a Salted Caramel Fudge Sauce which is meant to set as a firm layer on top of the cheesecake. I wasn’t able to make this work for me. It calls for coconut butter and I used Nuttlex coconut butter, which might not have been the right product (see note). No problemo, I made a warm Salted Caramel Sauce and a Maple Butter and didn’t stop there. That Maple Butter was crowned with popcorn and macadamia nuts. Because every vegan cheesecake deserves to be crowned 🍿🌰
