Time 7h40m

Yield 8

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
½ (12 ounce) package silken tofu, drained
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon baking soda
⅛ teaspoon salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place gingersnaps and pecans in a food processor; blend into fine crumbs. Pour in margarine gradually, pulsing until crumbs are well combined. Cover the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with about 1/2 inch of the crumbs. Pack down crumbs to form a crust.
  • Place cream cheese, pumpkin, sugar, tofu, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, baking soda, and salt in a food processor. Puree until very smooth. Pour into the crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheesecake is set but still jiggles in the middle when gently tapped, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool for 30 minutes. Cover and refrigerate to let flavors mingle, 6 hours to overnight.

This cheesecake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. I would try a different recipe next time.

The crust was a bit too crumbly for my liking, but the filling was delicious. I would try a different crust recipe next time.

This cheesecake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling next time.
