VEGAN CARAMEL CHEESECAKE | gluten-free vegan cheesecake

[@Downshiftology]

Hi guys! I'm so excited to share this recipe with you and it's perfect dessert for Thanksgiving (hint hint). ;) And because it's allergen-friendly, it will surely satisfy all your guests. Speaking of Thanksgiving, I won't have a video next week as I'll be spending time with my family, but I wish you all the best for a lovely holiday. xo - Lisa

[@debstein8811]

So with all the coconut products, doesnt it taste more like coconut caramel cheesecake?

[@theawakenedheart8783]

Downshiftology looking forward to making this

[@lifebeginsat4081]

Deb Stein I just had a friend make this. I can't taste the coconut at all so if you don't like it you won't taste it.

[@Michelleelise444]

Lisa, you are my favorite! 💜💜💜

[@GulmiraOrtiqova-mx2hn]

I really love your recepies❤ i am Diana from Uzbekistan.

[@simone_d]

I tried it, it tastes fantastic. The caramel is perfect too. Only two things : freeze the cake OVERNIGHT before removing the mold. I waited only five hours as said in the video and the cake started to melt and fall apart. Also the caramel is so good you’ll want to pour on each slices, so I needed a full recipe for the cake. Thanks!

[@puravida5990]

Hello. I have a question. You put the cake into the freezer or the refrigerator?

[@claudialu]

@@puravida5990 Freeze it.

[@Aleynaellah]

Your right Girl. You have to freue it👍

Any substitute for coconut oil

[@brookexx33beejay]

I made this cheesecake the other day and it turned out so perfectly! I added a bit more lemon juice and didn't do the caramel sauce, but this recipe is a really good guide to follow! I'm not usually that good at making any food more complicated than beans on toast 😂 I posted a picture of my cake on a vegan page and more than 1200 people liked and commented on it, and I feel so good about how it all turned out! Thank you for posting this!!

[@Downshiftology]

So glad you enjoyed this cheesecake 😊

[@miamaria5212]

Hi, I’m thinking of making this cake tomorrow. What do you do with the leftover cake? Do you throw it away or can you freeze it after as well?

[@lnicole2504]

I love that this recipe is not only vegan and gluten free, but is also refined sugar free which is huge. Thank you for sharing :)

[@Downshiftology]

Glad you enjoyed the recipe! :)

[@sashamotovylets1753]

Still a lot of sugar though... =/

[@angeladyson7367]

Ahhh superb! Cheese cake has always been a huge weakness of mine but after eating dairy I've often felt unwell so the more dairy free cheesecake recipes the merrier I'll be. ☺

[@Downshiftology]

You sound exactly like me! Hope you enjoy the recipe Angela. ❤️

[@MonochromeRainbowz]

You are probably lactose intolerant then.

[@MsJovi102]

This video came to me at the perfect time. I just watched a video about the horrors of the dairy industry and vowed to never use dairy again. I immediately thought of not being able to eat cheesecake again. A dessert I enjoy. I'm so happy I don't have to miss out on cheesecake since viewing this recipe. It looks very delicious! I can't wait to try it :) Thank you for sharing.

[@Downshiftology]

Hope you enjoy the recipe!

[@earel93]

And, do you still not eat dairy? :) How do you feel with it? And how was the cheesecake? :D

[@anadd6195]

@@earel93 It's so good to not eat it and there are so many options out there 😀 And so many recipes too! Most people in the comments are saying it tasted amazing (I found it today and have yet to try it out 🙂).

[@dansmith6856]

This was absolutely devine! More vegan recipes please 🌱

You are a genius! I made the cake last night and I absolutely loved it esp with the caramel sauce yum yum!

[@Downshiftology]

Wonderful! So happy to hear you enjoyed it Kris!

[@louisharleyaguilar4003]

Came for the cheesecake left with an awsome caramel recipie

[@theclumsycook7550]

Ooooh! Looks delicious! Definitely need to try that caramel out. I made a similar cheesecake, but without the caramel. Love the coconut sugar addition.

[@Downshiftology]

Can't wait for you to try this recipe! The caramel sauce is so delicious 😊

[@MarinaMorais]

That looks amazing! Perfect for the holidays with my friends... Everyone will enjoy this! Thanks, Lisa!

It looks super delicious and i'm getting the courage and getting tempted to make one immediately..thanks for sharing the recipe.

[@jcontreras4503]

Yay thank you! More vegan recipes please!

[@Downshiftology]

I have many more on my website as well! :)

[@xavieraiken5552]

Okay we are so late in seeing this video...But we have to say that when our little one saw this video, he said that the cake I want for my birthday. We made it and it is GREAT. We decided to share it at our church, and they almost ate the whole entire thing before our little one could even get a piece. We had to remove it from the table so that we could save him some of the cake. This is definitely a keep for our go-to desert. It's a WINNER in our book. We actually made it without the oil. We used the coconut milk for the cream part and skipped the oil for the crust. It turned out to be WONDERFUL. The caramel is perfect and super easy to make. We thank you for sharing this recipe with us. LOVE IT, Loved it and still LOVING IT... THANKS a LOT!!!!

[@Downshiftology]

So glad you loved this vegan cheesecake! 😊

[@sxylkn36]

We need a vegan Japanese cotton cheesecake in an instant pot would be nice, please!! Thanks for sharing!! :)

I just found your page and I absolutely love how you do things I sure wish it was as easy for me

[@southafricanvegan1054]

This looks delicious and much more healthy than a traditional cheesecake! I wish the ingredients weren't so expensive though.

[@anadd6195]

Definitely healthier 😀😍

[@maritzasantiago4806]

I made this yesterday and it tastes absolutely delicious! Love it! ❤️

[@Downshiftology]

So glad you loved the recipe Maritza!

[@riaz.khan2404]

Wow that seems like a pretty expensive cheesecake, with the like kg of cashews, and the dates and vanilla beans.

[@dt564]

Not as much if you can find a bulk food store!

[@jennimontalvan]

Well when you buy a whole cheesecake pie at a restaurant it’s about the same in cost, or maybe more. This recipe is homemade and a lot healthier. You’ll know exactly what you’re putting into your body.

[@simoon1404]

Sayera Abir yes indeed

[@sbishi9527]

It's NOT cheesecake!!!

[@marianna7702]

"Cash"ews are pricey, but worth it.

[@andrearobinson2512]

SOOOO good! And surprisingly easy! Definitely going to make this again

Hi Lisa your Cheesecake looks awesome! Can I prepare the caramel and put on top then freeze the cheesecake instead of pouring caramel on cake before serving? Thanks !

Hello Lisa it is my birthday today and I plan to make your Cheesecake which looks awesome ! I just have a few questions please dear Lisa if you can anwer.. You use Unrefined Coconut oil or not (desodorised?) As you use a huge quantities of Cashews for filling why Coconut oil is useful? I can substitute with Coconut Butter (manna)? Taste is awesome and less fat... Last how long before serving you let out from freezer please ? You could make a Vegan Caramel with Dates? Im a huge fan of Dates! Many thanks in advance! Henri 🙂

[@marianamunoz6075]

♥️ I love ALL your videos, your energy, your kitchen!!! & your cake stands!!!!! I abridor just purchased one exactly as the one on this video! 😂 I’ve always wanted one but somehow between yesterday and today, I ended up with 3! 🤣 (What could I say, they were on sale & this last one was on clearance so how could I say no?!? 😂 ) ❓❓Seriously though….

[@happyeat6937]

Hello Lisa your Caramel Cheesecake looks so amazing I plan to make it for my daughter birthday coming soon! Is it possible only using Cashews not Coconut oil ? ( You use desodorised Coconut oil?) For Crust possible to use only Dates & Almonds and if yesin which quantity ? Is it possible to pour on the Caramel Sauce after freezing Cheesecake a few hours then freeze it again before serving? Maybe night before or few hours? Caramel will thicken and stay on top on the Cake like when we use Agar-agar or will flaten on the cake when out of Freezer? You keep in Fridge or at Room temperature and how long before serving? Many thanks dear Lisa! Sorry for all my questions im beginner...😅

[@olgasarahvelkovich1453]

I'm making this for Thanksgiving!!!

[@Downshiftology]

Yay! Let me know how it turns out! :) x

[@lapointedeliceberg97]

I tried it, and while the caramel is delicious, the cake itself didn't hit the spot for me. First, the recipe is quite long, if you consider the soaking and the freezing time, but it was mostly the taste of coconut that was to present. If I'd do it again, I would not put shredded coconut in the crust, or switch the coconut oil for something else.

[@anastaciabo8287]
