For the crust:
For the Cheesecake Filling
For the Caramel Pecan Topping
The Instructions:
For the Crust
-
Line an 8x8” baking pan with parchment paper, having extra parchment go over the edges to create “sleeves” for easy removal later.
-
Combine all ingredients into a food processor or high speed blender. Pulse until crumb like texture.
-
Press into the prepared pan. Chill in the freezer while you prep the filling.
For the Cheesecake Filling
-
Combine all ingredients into a large high speed blender. Pulse until very smooth and creamy. Adjust to taste with maple syrup.
-
Pour over the crust and spread out evenly with the back of a spoon.
-
Freeze for 4-5 hours.
For the Caramel Pecan Topping
-
Combine the vanilla oat milk, coconut milk, brown sugar, granulated cane sugar, and a pinch of salt. Whisk to combine.
-
Reduce heat to LOW to simmer for 25-30 minutes, until reduced, an amber brown color, and thick like traditional caramel.
-
Remove from heat. Stir in the pecans and let cool 10-15 minutes before spreading evenly over the cheesecake.
-
Freeze until solid, about 1 hour.
-
Slice into individual bars to enjoy!
