Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup finely chopped pecans
1 cup crushed vegan gingersnap cookies
3 tablespoons margarine, melted
1 pound non-dairy cream cheese
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 cup white sugar

PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE - VEGAN



Pumpkin Cheesecake - Vegan image

Light and fluffy, yet rich and creamy. Perfect if your looking for a change from plain pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. The rum extract adds a really nice flavor to this too. The brand of tofu cream cheese I prefer to use is Tofutti brand, the non-hydrogenated kind comes with a YELLOW lable, and is available in Whole Foods, or most well stocked supermarkets. Also, I like the technique of leaving the baked cheesecake in the oven to cool. There were NO CRACKS!! Basic recipe from The Vegetarian Meat and Potatoes Cookbook

Provided by Rachel Gaewski

Categories     Desserts

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
2 cups raw cashews
2 cups graham cracker
6 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
16 oz silken tofu
1 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt
non-dairy whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 10-inch (25-cm) springform pan with parchment paper and grease the sides with nonstick spray.
  • Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the cashews and boil for 10 minutes, until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
  • Add the graham crackers to a food processor and pulse until they break down into crumbs. Pour in the coconut oil and pulse until combined. Transfer to a medium bowl and clean out the food processor.
  • Add the cashews, tofu, pumpkin puree, sugar, cornstarch, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt to the food processor. Puree for 5-8 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and not at all gritty.
  • Add the graham cracker crumbs to the prepared pan. Use a flat-bottomed measuring cup to help pack the crust in an even layer.
  • Using a spatula, spread the filling over the crust in an even layer.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheesecake is set.
  • Refrigerate uncovered for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Unmold the cheesecake, then slice and serve with non-dairy whipped cream.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use canned coconut milk: It's the best vegan substitute for cream cheese in this recipe, and it gives the cheesecake a rich and creamy texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cheesecake tough, so mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: This helps to prevent the cheesecake from cracking and also helps it to cook evenly.
  • Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving: This allows the cheesecake to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

This vegan pumpkin cheesecake is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's made with a creamy coconut milk filling and a graham cracker crust, and it's topped with a swirl of pumpkin puree. The cheesecake is gluten-free and can be made dairy-free by using a vegan cream cheese alternative. With its rich flavor and creamy texture, this cheesecake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
