Paleo Vegan Chocolate Cheesecake
My love for chocolate runs deep. This cheesecake is not for the faint of heart! It’s smooth and creamy, rich and decadent, and truly a showstopper. It’s filled with ingredients you can feel good about. You’d never guess it was vegan given how creamy it is. I hope you make this and love it as much as I do!
Ingredients
For the bottom crust
For the cheesecake layers
For the chocolate topping
For the whipped coconut cream
Instructions
- Step 1
First, line the bottom of an 8 inch springform pan or cheesecake pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Step 2
Make the bottom crust first. Add all ingredients to a high powered blender and blend until combined. Mixture will be crumbly and nuts broken up. Press this mixture into the bottom of your springform pan and set aside.
- Step 3
To make the cheesecake filling, first melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil. Then add all ingredients (including melted chocolate mixture) to a clean blender and blend until smooth. You may have to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender with a spoon or spatula. Keep blending until smooth and uniform. Pour this mixture down into springform pan.
- Step 4
Place in freezer while making the topping.
- Step 5
To make the topping, simply melt the ingredients together. I like to microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between each. Pour this over cheesecake layer. Freeze for at least 2 hours until frozen through.
- Step 6
To serve, allow cheesecake to thaw on the countertop for 5-10 minutes before cutting into. Store leftovers covered in the freezer for best results.
- Step 7
To make coconut whipped cream, add ingredients to a KitchenAid and whip it for 2 minutes.
