Pumpkin Vegan Caramel Cheesecake: How to Make Healthy Vegan Cheesecake 28

Do you know someone who doesn’t like cheesecakes? Me neither. They seem to me to be some of the most versatile desserts. They can be sweet or salty, baked or no-baked, round, square, or in a glass, more, or less fragrant. It all depends on your preferences, but also on how much skill you have in the kitchen.

When it comes to skill, I know that for many beginners in the kitchen, baked desserts can be a real challenge and they don’t feel too confident to take the bull by the horns, as they say.

So, a no-bake cheesecake seems to be the ideal solution for them, but also for those who do not get along well with time but want to prepare delicious sweets at home.

Regardless of your experience in the kitchen, from a taste point of view, I guarantee that this recipe will be to your liking (or that of the vast majority). 

The baked pumpkin gives it autumn flavor, the spices send us thinking of winter (to gingerbread), the textures blend perfectly, and the sweetness is fixed as much as necessary (from my point of view).

Make the colored chocolate mirror glaze:

11.    Chop the chocolate and set it aside.

12.    In 50 ml of water put the agar agar powder and let it hydrate for 5-minutes.

13.    Put in a pot the coconut cream, the bloomed Agar Agar, and the condensed milk, stir continuously and boil for 2 minutes.

14.    Take off the heat and pour over the chopped chocolate and stir until combined. 

15.    Pass the obtained composition through a sieve so that no impurities remain, thus obtaining a fine cream. 

16.    Divide the glaze into 3 parts as follows: 40% in the 1st bowl in which you add the black food coloring, in the 2nd bowl – 40% in which you add the orange food coloring, and in the 3rd bowl – add 2 tbsp of caramel, mix the composition of each bowl until completely incorporated.

17.    Pour the chocolate into a larger container/bowl as follows: first the black glaze, then the orange glaze, and finally the caramel glaze.

18.    Cover the glaze with a cling film to avoid creating condensation. Let it cool to 32-35 degrees after which we can pour it over the cheesecake. If you do not have a thermometer, you can take it with a spoon from the composition, and when it no longer flows like water, but as heavy cream, it is a sign that it has already reached the optimum temperature.

19.    Remove the cheesecake from the freezer, release it from the springform, place it on a container/bowl narrower than the cake and start pouring the glaze in a circular motion from the center to the edges,

20.    Allow the excess to drain and refrigerate for another hour.

Pumpkin Vegan Caramel cheesecake decoration and serving:

Remove the mirror glaze pumpkin caramel cheesecake from the fridge, place it on a cake stand and garnish with powdered cinnamon, small pumpkin cubes, whole hazelnuts and pecans, crispy walnut kernel, almonds, cashews, and coconut flakes, then cut a slice, and enjoy it, the problem is that I don’t know if you will be able to stop at just one :))).

Although, no matter how good it is, and believe me: It is!!! I would still suggest you stop at just one slice 😊)) because it contains a lot of nuts, so a lot of fats (even if healthy), it can be hypercaloric, and you can put it on your belly, and we don’t want that, right? so, moderation!
