    HEALTHY PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE INGREDIENTS

    For the Chocolate Almond Crust:

    • 1 cup almonds
    • 1 cup pitted dates
    • ¼ cup raw cacao powder
    • ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
    • ¼ tsp cinnamon

    For the Healthy Pumpkin Vanilla Cheesecake Filling:

    • 1 ½ cups raw cashews
    • ½ cup dates
    • ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
    • ½ cup full fat coconut milk
    • ¼ cup coconut oil
    • ⅛ tsp pink sea salt
    • ½ cup pumpkin puree
    • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
    • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup

    TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST HEALTHY MINI PUMPKIN CHEESECAKES

    USE RAW CASHEWS. Raw will give you a creamy texture without any cream cheese!

    SOAK CASHEWS IN WATER OVERNIGHT. Soaking is necessary to soften cashews so they can blend smooth and create a cream cheese texture.

    BLEND HALF OF THE BATTER WITH PUMPKIN FOR A DOUBLE LAYER HEALTHY PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE! For a fun double layer effect, blend the pumpkin into only half of the cheesecake batter.

    FREEZE OVERNIGHT TO SET. To set cheesecake, make sure to freeze it at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight if you have the time.

    ALLOW TO STAND AT ROOM TEMPERATURE BEFORE SERVING. Soften cheesecake for 15-30 minutes on your counter before serving for the best smooth cheesecake texture.

    HOW TO MAKE HEALTHY MINI PUMPKIN CHEESECAKES

    Step 1: Soak the cashews overnight

    Soaking the cashews allows them to soften and blend into a delicious creamy texture. I usually soak mine in a glass container overnight. But, in a pinch, you can soak them for 1 hour in hot water while you prepare the rest of your recipe.

    Step 2: Prepare the crust

    Combine in a blender or food processor: 1 cup almonds, 1 cup pitted dates, ¼ cup cacao powder, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon.

    The texture should look pretty crumbly. But, when you press into your tart molds it will come together. Make sure to divide the mixture evenly between the tart molds before you press it down. I’ve forgotten how much I’ve used before and have had way too much in one mold!

    I used silicone mini tart molds.

    Step 3: Make the healthy pumpkin cheesecake filling

    Layer 1: In a blender or food processor combine the soaked cashews, soaked dates, vanilla, coconut milk, coconut oil, and sea salt. Puree until smooth and creamy.

    Divide half of this batter between the 6 tart molds. Leave half of the mixture in the blender. Place your tarts in the freezer at least 30 minutes to firm up.

    Layer 2: Add pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and maple syrup to the remainder of the filling in the food processor. Process until smooth. Divide this pumpkin batter on top of the vanilla layer.

    Cover and place your mini pumpkin cheesecakes in the freezer at least 2 hours or overnight.

    Step 4: Thaw and top

    Thaw the pumpkin cheesecake at least 15 minutes before serving. Top with some more spice and pumpkin seeds. The apple topping from my apple pie cheesecake also tastes good on these!

    You can store these in airtight containers in the freezer for up to a month!

    FAQ's

    Frequently asked questions about my no bake mini pumpkin cheesecake recipe.

    HOW DO I MAKE THIS PUMPKIN CHESECAKE INTO NO BAKE BITES?

    Instead of using mini tart molds, simply divide the crust and then the pumpkin cheesecake batter evenly between mini cupcake molds lined with mini cupcake holders. Follow all ingredients an instructions the same.

    HOW DO I MAKE A LARGE HEALTHY PUPMKIN CHEESECAKE INSTEAD?

    For a large healthy pumpkin cheesecake, double all the ingredients and then press the crust then the topping into a 9" spring form pan lined with parchment paper. Follow all instructions the same as for the smaller cheesecakes.

    IS THIS PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE VEGAN?

    Yes! All ingredients in my healthy pumpkin cheesecake recipe are totally gluten free, dairy free, and vegan friendly.
