Prepare a decadent Caramel Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake with a crunchy Streusel Topping, entirely plant-based and sure to impress your friends and family.
- Store chilled canned coconut milk in the refrigerator.
- Put cookies in food processor. Crush the cookies into a fine powder until they resemble sand.
- Combine the crushed cookies with melted vegan butter and drizzle in some agave nectar while processing until a cohesive dough forms.
- Position crust evenly within a 4-inch by 8-inch baking pan. Compact the crust evenly into the prepared tin, ensuring a secure and even base. Place in fridge.
- Combine both containers of vegan cream cheese and sugar in a blender.
- Open the chilled can of coconut milk. Drain coconut water. Combine the coconut cream and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, then heat on high for 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add to blender.
- Half-fill the tin with the prepared filling and promptly refrigerate for storage purposes.
- Combine the remaining cream cheese filling with pumpkin puree and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice for an autumnal twist. Place the warm pumpkin cheesecake topping over the cooled plain cheesecake.
- Mash softened vegan butter with a fork to combine with sugar, warm spices, all-purpose flour, and rolled oats in a harmonious blend of textures and flavors. Crown the cheesecake with a delicate sprinkle of crumbly topping. Preheat oven to 350°F; bake for 35 minutes.
- Craft a rich and velvety caramel sauce by harmoniously blending nut butter with sweetened condensed coconut milk. Carefully pour the melted caramel into a zip-top plastic bag, ensuring it’s fully coated for an effortless drizzle over the chilled and cooled cheesecake. Enjoy!
