Raw Pumpkin Cheesecake

Ingredients:

1½ cups raw cashews
1 cup pitted dates
½ cup almond flour
1 tbsp unsweetened cacao powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp almond milk
⅓ cup maple syrup
⅓ cup canned pumpkin
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg

Directions:

  1. Soak the cashews in water for 1 hour. Discard the water.
  2. Pulse dates, flour, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and milk in blender until the mixture comes together; this should take about 1 minute. Dividing the mixture into small pieces, press this mixture evenly onto the bottom of the pumpkin molds (preferably silicone based) and place it in the freezer while you prepare the cheesecake topping.
  3. Pulse cashews, syrup, pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth. Scoop the cheesecake mixture over the crust in the pan and freeze the dessert for at least 2 hours. Store in freezer until all are eaten.
