Vegan No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake
Hello & Happy Wednesday!!
Here’s to one of the first pumpkin concepts of the season, vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake! While I love pumpkin pie, there is something fresh and modern about a vegan cheesecake. Perhaps it’s the texture (I love all things with texture), or that this recipe is just quick and easy, but they are one of my favorite concepts.
When I think I cheesecake I envision heavy cream, blocks of cream cheese and all the commonplace ingredients. However, you can make a fab dairy free cheesecake with just a handful of ingredients. No baking, takes minutes, packs tons of flavor, you just can’t beat that!
In all honesty it takes less time to make this cheesecake versus a pumpkin pie!
What’s fab about this Pumpkin Cheesecake, is just everything! It’s quick, easy, affordable, packs flavor, protein from the cashews, has that gorgeous orange hue, perf for fall, and is non vegan approved!
If you love fresh modern vegan recipe or all things pumpkin, you have to try my recipe for a no bake vegan Pumpkin Pie!
Why this recipe rocks:
Quick
Easy
Affordable
Minimal added sugar
No bake
No dairy or eggs
Perf for fall
