Salted Caramel Vegan Cheesecake

January 24, 2015 Melissa King 25 Comments

Who doesn’t love all things salted caramel? Today I am sharing this Salted Caramel Vegan Cheesecake. Super decadent, yet made from whole food ingredients! This Salted Caramel Vegan Cheesecake is super rich, so a small amount will satisfy you. I made the cheesecake a vanilla flavor, then topped it with the salted caramel. I added the chips because chocolate makes everything better right? If you like this, you may also like my maple cinnamon vegan cheesecake or my chocolate raspberry cheesecake.

This cheesecake recipe is vegan and gluten free. You could probably make it grain free as well if you used nuts in place of oats. I made a large cheesecake, but you could also do mini cheesecakes if you like.

The very first food blog I ever followed was Chocolate Covered Katie. She is the original queen of healthy desserts. That is why I was so excited to get the opportunity to review her new cookbook Chocolate-Covered Katie: Over 80 Delicious Recipes That Are Secretly Good for You. The Chocolate Pixie Cookies was the first recipe I tried. They are delicious. I knew they were good when my 5 year old wanted to lick the mixer paddle clean!

This book is truly for the dessert lover. It’s filled with amazing recipes like, Chocolate Infinity Pie, New York Style Cheesecake, Peanut Butter and Jelly Candy Cups and so much more. All are vegan and made with healthy ingredients. She even provides nutrition facts and weight watchers points with every recipe. The best part about these recipes is that they are easy!

I have the perfect holiday dessert for you! Maple Cinnamon Cheesecakes. OMG. These are so good and perfectly bite sized. These vegan cheesecakes are super easy to make too. If you preferred, you could probably make 1 large cheesecake as well.

These Maple Cinnamon Cheesecakes are vegan, gluten free and paleo. The gingerbread crust is to die for! I promise they will be a hit at any holiday party. Perfect for those that have dietary restrictions. I got 12 mini cheesecakes out of my batch. This is a dessert you can make ahead of time so you will not feel stressed. It should last a couple weeks in the fridge too. I could see my 3 ingredient chocolate drizzled over the top of these. Yum!

German Chocolate Quinoa Brownies. I have a treat for you guys today! You are going to love these German chocolate vegan quinoa brownies.

If you are a fan of the quinoa brownie recipe already up on the blog, you will love this latest twist! Especially if you like anything German chocolate flavored.

These German chocolate gluten free quinoa brownies are a cinch to make too. I used my vegan sweetened condensed milk recipe for this.

4 Ingredient Peppermint Fudge. Now that Thanksgiving is over, it’s time to start the holiday baking! What better way to do that than this 4 Ingredient Vegan Peppermint Fudge!

This Vegan Peppermint Fudge is beyond easy to make and it has very little added sugar! If you enjoy healthy desserts, you may like this post as well.

This 4 Ingredient Peppermint Fudge is vegan, gluten free, paleo and raw. My husband said they would also be great with a little chocolate drizzle over the top.

I bet my 3 ingredient chocolate bar recipe would be perfect for that. For the candy cane garnish on these, I used these dye free candy canes.

I got mine at Whole Foods, but you can probably find them at most health food stores and I will also provide the Amazon link for you.
