Steps to Prepare Vegan Cheesecake Recipe No Cashews

Grandma's Canadian Cashew Caramels

Cashews give this cheesecake that creamy factor that you'd usually get from cream cheese.

Recipe Summary Grandma's Canadian Cashew Caramels

My Canadian grandma makes these every year for Christmas. She lives in the States now and has to have the Roger's syrup shipped to her, but plain white granulated sugar can be used instead.

Ingredients | Vegan Cheesecake Recipe No Cashews

1 (9.25 ounce) container cashews, chopped

1 cup light brown sugar

1 cup golden syrup (such as Roger's®)

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

½ cup butter

Directions

Lightly spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter flavored cooking spray. Arrange chopped cashews in the bottom of dish.

Combine brown sugar, golden syrup, sweetened condensed milk, and butter in a large, heavy bottomed saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Do not stir once the sugar syrup begins to boil. Heat to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball.

Pour caramel over top of cashews. Stir well. Use a heatproof rubber spatula to spread the mixture evenly in the dish; allow to cool for 1 hour. Cut cooled caramel into squares or roll into balls as desired.

White granulated sugar can be used if golden syrup is unavailable.
