What’s in this vegan snickerdoodle cheesecake?

Cashews: Cashews are the perfect flavor carrier in dairy-free desserts/meals. They add a ton of health benefits and a silky texture without much additional flavor. They are an absolute must when preparing vegan cheesecakes. Make sure to soak the cashews overnight or for at least 4 hours before preparing the recipe. That way they are easy to blend and provide a smooth consistency for your cheesecake. 

Coconut cream: Coconut cream adds another rich and creamy element to the cheesecake which helps it get thick and smooth. Make sure to use full-fat and unsweetened coconut cream. 

Maple syrup: As a sweetener I used maple syrup, but free to naturally sweeten it with softened dates. 

Coconut oil: Coconut oil holds everything together in a cheesecake, I you really want to make sure no coconut flavor seeps through, make sure it’s reined coconut oil. 

Cashew milk: To make the blending of the filling easier, I added some cashew milk. It is dairy-free, super creamy and tastes neutral compared to coconut or almond milk.  You can substitute with any plant-based milk if you like. 

Cinnamon: I added the classic snickerdoodle spice: cinnamon. You can add other winter spices as well

Toppings: This is optional for you but I love to top off my snickerdoodle cheesecake with whipped coconut cream and tahini caramel. It’s makes for a sweet but wholesome dessert,  and who doesn’t like to add some caramel here and there.
