Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 cups cashews (soaked in water for at least 4 hours)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup coconut cream
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch springform pan with coconut oil.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, melted coconut oil, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup until well-mixed.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust.
Bake for 10 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
Drain and rinse the soaked cashews, then add them to a high-speed blender or food processor.
Add the pumpkin puree, coconut cream, 0.5 cup maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt to the blender.
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary.
Pour the pumpkin cashew filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover the cheesecake with foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve chilled.
