Caramel Vanilla Cheesecake

It was my birthday a few days ago, so I made my traditional cheesecake. I'm supposed to be writing an essay, so I'll be brief. It was delicious.


I used the chocolate cheesecake recipe from The Joy of Vegan Baking, or at least tried to. I didn't buy enough cream cheese, so I sort of made it up myself. Just threw together a packet of organic silken tofu, two tubs of vegan cream cheese (I used one Tofutti and one Soy King), sugar, almond extract and vanilla bean paste.

The crust was a chocolate shortcrust. I then covered it with this absolutely sinfully delicious caramel sauce from A Vegan Ice Cream Paradise.

The vanilla taste could have come through more, I think. The flecks of vanilla bean looked nice, but they weren't all that strong. Just a nice subtle note. The caramel sauce went with it really well.

I just ate the last piece and I wish I had more. :(
