how to make this no-bake pumpkin cheesecake

making this cheesecake is a simple process since it doesn’t require any baking.

you start by making the crust in a food processor, blending dates, pecans, oat flour, a touch of coconut oil, and dairy-free milk to create a sticky, flavorful base.

press it firmly into a parchment lined 8 in pan and freeze while you make the filling.

the filling is as easy as mixing vegan cream cheese, pumpkin puree, almond butter, maple syrup, pumpkin spice, and a scoop of vanilla chai protein powder.

blend until it’s smooth and creamy, then pour it over the crust.

finally, mix up the almond flour cinnamon crumble and sprinkle it on top for an extra layer of flavor. let it chill in the freezer for a few hours to set, and it’s ready to serve!

substitutions

• nuts: if you prefer a nut-free option, you can use sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds in the crust instead of pecans, and swap the almond butter for sunflower seed butter.
• protein powder: while the vanilla chai protein powder by ora organic is ideal, you can substitute with another ora flavor like vanilla protein powder!
• sweeteners: maple syrup is recommended by us for its rich flavor, but agave or date syrup would also work.

storage

store this cheesecake in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container. you can also freeze individual slices for up to 2 months.

just thaw slices in the fridge before enjoying, and they’ll retain that creamy texture.
