This Vegan Pumpkin Cashew Cheesecake is a delightful dessert for the holiday season. While many may be taken aback by the concept of a cashew cheesecake, this beautiful dessert is effortless, nutrient dense, packed with protein, and a great alternative to the traditional dairy cheesecakes.

Vegan Pumpkin Cashew Cheesecake Recipe

There are some flavors that just pair seamlessly with every season. For me, that’s pumpkin! I find that pumpkin is universal and can be used in a myriad of recipes from desserts to savory dishes and is both accessible and affordable! For many though, pumpkin appears as only a fall dessert which makes this Vegan Pumpkin Cashew Cheesecake perfect for everyone this time of year.

With the fall weather here, it seemed like the perfect time to explore a pumpkin cashew cheesecake. While many may be taken aback by the concept of a cashew cheesecake, they truly are effortless, nutrient dense, packed with protein, and are a great alternative to the traditional dairy cheesecakes.

Vegan Pumpkin Cashew Cheesecake

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 2 hours

Total Time: 2 hours, 30 minutes

Yield: 5-6 cheesecakes

Vegan Pumpkin Cashew Cheesecake

Ingredients

    Cheesecake Filling: 
  • 1 cup cashews, soaked overnight
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla 
  • 3/4 cup canned coconut (solid portion)
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup canned or fresh pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • Coconut Whipped Cream (optional)
  • 1 can full fat coconut milk, chilled overnight
  • 2 tbsp agave nectar
  • 1-2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare a cheesecake mold by lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Thoroughly rinse the soaked cashews. Drain. Blend in a food processor or blender until cashews become a very smooth paste. This may take awhile, depending on the strength of your blender. Scrape down the sides as you process, adding a little bit of almond milk if cashews seem too dry. Once the cashews are smooth and creamy, add the remaining filling ingredients except pumpkin and process until uniform. Remove half of the mixture and set aside.
  3. Now add the pumpkin, blend.  
  4. Scrape pumpkin filling first into the mold, freeze for ten minutes, then add the white layer. Stick in freezer for at least 1 hour. 
  5. When ready to serve, top with pecans and allow to thaw for 30 minutes. Slice and serve.

Notes

Home Chef Tip: To make whipped cream topping, open chilled coconut milk and scoop out the solid coconut meat into a small bowl. Whisk in agave nectar and cinnamon until combined and spoon onto the top of frozen pumpkin cheesecake. Spread evenly. Return to freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, until frozen all the way through.
