1

Prepare the Crust

In a food processor, pulse together 1 ¼ cups of graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup of melted coconut oil, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create the crust.

Make the Filling

Drain and rinse 2 cups of soaked cashews. In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, 1 cup of pumpkin puree, ½ cup of coconut cream, ½ cup of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Bake and Chill

Pour the filling over the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake the cheesecake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Once baked, let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Serve and Enjoy

Once the cheesecake is thoroughly chilled, remove it from the springform pan. Slice and serve with a dollop of coconut whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice. Get ready to savor the cozy flavors of fall in every decadent bite!
