Tip: I recommend using raw cashew butter in this recipe, so that your cheesecake doesn’t taste like roasted cashews. You can make homemade cashew butter in just about 10 minutes if you can’t find raw cashew butter at your local grocery store.
No-Bake Almond Flour Crust
In keeping with the no-equipment theme, this crust is made with almond flour, so you can stir it together in just minutes! I add molasses and ground ginger to give this crust a “gingerbread” flavor, but you can omit those if you’d rather have a more plain, straight-forward crust. Either way, it’s delicious.
I use a 7-inch spring-form pan for this recipe, which keeps the filling and crust thick. If you only have a larger pan, keep in mind that the overall cheesecake will be more flat in appearance. Tip: To guarantee your dessert will easily come out of the pan, line the pan with a square of parchment paper. Spray the pan lightly with oil first, then press the parchment into the pan. The oil will keep it in place, so it doesn’t move around later.
Why You’ll Love It
This Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake is:
Naturally sweetened Gluten-free Dairy-free Ultra-creamy and super easy to make!
This recipe is a great way to use up any pumpkin puree that you might have leftover from another recipe. If you need to use up even more pumpkin, try my pumpkin oatmeal, pumpkin smoothie, or pumpkin spice latte recipes.
Be sure to serve this vegan pumpkin cheesecake chilled, because it will become soft quickly at room temperature. You’ll need to freeze it initially, until firm, and then you can transfer it to the fridge later if you’d like a softer texture. Serve with coconut whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra-pretty presentation.
