Ingredients
  

Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups vegan graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup coconut oil melted
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup

Filling:

  • 1 ½ cups raw cashews soaked overnight or 1 hour in hot water
  • ½ cup full-fat coconut milk
  • ⅓ cup brewed espresso or strong coffee
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Caramel Swirl:

  • ⅓ cup coconut sugar
  • 2 tbsp coconut cream
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • Splash of vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F, because cold ovens are rude.
  • Mix the crust: Combine graham crumbs, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Press into a greased springform pan like it owes you money.
  • Bake crust for 8 minutes. Let it cool while you boss around the filling.
  • Blend the filling: Chuck all filling ingredients into a blender. Blitz until it’s smoother than your last situationship.
  • Pour filling into the cooled crust. Level it out because uneven cheesecake is chaotic.
  • Make the caramel swirl: In a small saucepan, heat coconut sugar, cream, and oil over medium heat. Stir till it bubbles like drama in a group chat.
  • Add vanilla and salt to the caramel. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Drizzle caramel over the cheesecake. Swirl with a toothpick like a caffeinated artist.
  • Bake cheesecake for 45–50 minutes. It’ll jiggle slightly—like you at a wedding dancefloor.
  • Cool completely, then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours (or overnight if you believe in delayed gratification).
  • Slice, serve, and remind people it’s dairy-free before they faint from shock.
