Raw vegan pumpkin cheesecake recipe made with creamy cashews, a walnut date crust and spiced up with the classic cinnamon and nutmeg fall flavors. The best ever!
 

I made us mini pumpkin cheesecake bites in July you guys 🙂

 
Initially I didn’t plan to post the recipe until pumpkin season of course, but I shared them in my Instagram stories and surprisingly many of us like to eat pumpkin in the summer time. Rebels at heart – I love you!
 

This vegan pumpkin cheesecakes actually work really well for hot summer days, as they are served chilled out of the freezer much like an ice-cream bar.

 
To make things as easy as possible I used a dozen silicone muffin cups to create cute miniature cheesecakes. No fuss, no mess, just a light dusting of nutmeg and cinnamon before serving.
 
The only thing you don’t see in the photos are the mandatory candied walnuts I ended up placing on top. I swear it takes your taste buds to a whole new level of awesomeness. 
 

I made them twice in the last week, because “no bake” duhhh!

Prep Time:15 minutes
Soaking & Freezing Time::8 hours
Total Time:15 minutes

Ingredients

The Crust:

Filling:

Instructions

Prepare the crust:

  • Add the dates, walnuts and a pinch of sea salt to the bowl of a food processor. Process until a sticky dough forms that resembles wet sand. 
  • Divide the mixture between 12 silicone muffins cups ( or simple cupcake liners) and use your fingers to press it into the bottom. Place them on a cookie sheet and in the freezer while you make the cheesecake filling.

Make the Filling:

  • Rinse the cashews well then soak them in hot water for 30 minutes or overnight. 
  • Drain and give the cashews another rinse then add them to the bowl of a powerful blender together with the pumpkin puree, cashew milk, vanilla, coconut nectar (or agave), nutmeg, cinnamon, sea salt and lemon juice.
  • Puree until smooth and silky (if using a Vitamix blender you can just use the puree setting one time).
  • Remove the muffin cups from the freezer and divide the filling between them.  Freeze 3 to 5 hours before serving dusted with nutmeg and cinnamon. 
  • Optional: garnish each mini cheesecake with a candied walnut before serving <----you should totally do this!

Notes

  • if you prefer the classic tangy taste of cheesecake don’t forget to add the lemon juice, otherwise feel free to leave it out.
  • use a round spring form pan lined with parchment paper if you want to make 1 large cake instead of the mini ones.
  • if opting for the large cheesecake version you’ll also need to let it sit at room temperature for about 15 -20 minutes before serving.

  1. These turned out amazing, I was hoping they would keep in the freezer until Thanksgiving but somehow they all disappeared and I have to start all over again now. I’d say this recipe is most definitely a keeper. Thank you for such an easy and delicious recipe.
