Serves: 12

Make the cheesecake base and filling and chill in the fridge the day before you need it if you want to get ahead… then all you have to make is the caramel sauce to go on at the last minute.  Great served with a few raspberries or blackberries if you have them.

This is a really simple to make cheesecake – we tried a few with soaked cashews but they didn’t quite hit the mark for us…Use our Carnation Vegan in combination with lots of vanilla and vegan cream cheese alternative for a quick and delicious filling, then drizzle generously with our salted caramel sauce.  Great for all cheesecake lovers – vegan or otherwise!

Vegan butter alternative

25g

You will also need:

18cm loose bottomed cake tin, greased or 12 small glasses

Step 1 of 5

Watch our video to show you how to make our vegan vanilla cheesecake with salted caramel sauce, step by step.

Step 2 of 5

crushing biscuits with rolling pin

Place 175g biscuits into a bowl or strong food bag and bash with a rolling pin or you can whizz them in a blender until finely crushed.  Tip the crumbs into a bowl.  

Step 3 of 5

Place 25g vegan butter into a bowl and melt in a microwave,  then stir into the crushed biscuits until well mixed.  Press the crumbs into the base of the cake tin or spoon into glasses.  Chill while you make the filling (about 10 minutes).

Use a flat-bottomed glass or measuring cup to even out the biscuit crumb if you seek even perfection in your biscuit base!

Step 4 of 5

vanilla cheesecake filling being whisked

Beat 600g of cream cheese with an electric hand whisk until smooth. Then mix in 100g of the Carnation vegan condensed milk alternative and 2tsp vanilla. Spoon the mixture on top of the biscuit base, even out with the back of a spoon and chill for 2 hours or overnight.

 

Step 5 of 5

vegan caramel sauce being made in a saucepan

To make the caramel; put 170g Carnation vegan, 25g vegan butter, 3tbsp vegan milk or cream alternative, 3tbsp light soft brown sugar and a tiny pinch of salt into a non-stick pan, bring to a rapid boil and then bubble for 2-3 minutes.  Allow to cool slightly so that you can taste it (be careful!) and add more salt to taste if it needs it.  Drizzle the sauce over the cheesecake just before serving, letting it drip down the sides... mmm.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great gluten free too I made this for a family party where I was catering for gluten and dairy free family members, was really light and creamy and got many compliments. Didn’t make the sauce as didn’t have time but even without it was delicious.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best vegan cheesecake recipe I have tried multiple dairy free cheesecakes and they are always too soft, who knew adding vegan carnation would help that! Caramel is super easy to make and the recipe is easily adapted to use different biscuit bases just remember to adjust the amount of butter

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic Pudding My Daughter-in-Law Kelly made this for me for Christmas after dinner. What a lovely surprise! I haven’t had cheesecake for 18 years due to being diagnosed with wheat and dairy allergies. This is a fabulous recipe because I also love salted caramel so the two combined was a pudding made in heaven for me. (The rest of the family enjoyed it as well).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So easy & yummy! I am really impressed with this Vegan alternative and this recipe. It was super easy to follow and do. I was worried about the caramel but actually was really easy and came out right first time...unlike when I've tried traditional caramel in the past! Everyone loved it when i served it and had no idea it was a Vegan alternative...really tasty and light.
