14. Now, mix the coffee cream liqueur with the cream cheese filling (the 40% put aside.
Assembling the caramel cheesecake:

20. Pour the maple syrup and the coconut cream into a pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat and let simmer softly for 10 minutes. Stir continuously with a spatula to keep the bubbles down
21. Now it’s time to add the coconut oil and water. Raise the heat again and bring it to a low boil, then let it reduce for 5 minutes, then, turn off the heat.
22. Remove from heat, add the sea salt, and vanilla extract, add the bloomed agar-agar, and stir until perfectly incorporated.
23. Pass the obtained composition through a sieve, then mix with a hand blender to obtain that beautiful shiny look and let it cool until it reaches 32 degrees Celsius.
