1

Prepare the Crust

In a food processor, combine 1 ½ cups of vegan graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup of melted vegan butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand.

2

Press the Crust

Transfer the crust mixture to a 9-inch springform pan. Press it evenly onto the bottom using the back of a spoon or a measuring cup. Place it in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

3

Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a blender or food processor, blend 2 cups of soaked cashews (drained), 1 cup of full-fat coconut milk, ½ cup of maple syrup, ¼ cup of melted coconut oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.

4

Add the Caramel Swirl

Pour half of the cheesecake filling onto the chilled crust. Drizzle a generous amount of vegan caramel sauce over the top. Use a skewer or a knife to gently swirl the caramel into the filling, creating gorgeous patterns.

5

Repeat and Chill

Pour the remaining cheesecake filling over the caramel layer. Drizzle more caramel sauce on top and swirl it again. Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.

6

Serve and Savor

Once the cheesecake is fully set, remove it from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate. Slice, serve, and savor each creamy and caramel-infused bite. Enjoy!
