Ingredients
For the Base:
100g plain biscuits (use gluten-free if needed)
1 tsp mixed all spice
50g dairy-free butter or margarine, melted
For the Filling:
125g cashew nuts, soaked overnight
250g vegan cream cheese
75g icing sugar
50g coconut cream
1 tsp pumpkin spice
1/2 tsp ground mixed spice
1 tbsp pumpkin purée
50ml Califia Farms Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew (or non-dairy milk)
For the Cream Pumpkin:
100ml dairy-free whipping cream
A drop of orange food gel
Small piece of vegan chocolate or Vegan KitKat (for the stem)
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Melt the dairy-free butter in a small saucepan and remove from heat. Blend biscuits and all spice in a food processor until fine. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press about 1½ tablespoons of the mixture into each tin of a loose-bottomed mini cheesecake pan, compacting it firmly. Freeze the bases while preparing the filling.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a high-speed blender. Add vegan cream cheese, icing sugar, coconut cream, pumpkin spice, mixed spice, pumpkin purée, and Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew. Blend on high for 5 minutes until completely smooth.
- Pour the filling evenly over the chilled bases and tap to remove air bubbles. Refrigerate overnight to set.
- Once set, remove from the fridge. If difficult to release, freeze for 15 minutes, then gently run a knife around the edges to remove.
- Make the Cream Pumpkin: Whip dairy-free cream until thick, add orange food gel, and continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Pipe a bulb-shaped swirl on each cheesecake and top with a piece of vegan chocolate for the stem.
- Serve chilled and enjoy with a glass of Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew.
Notes
Use toasted coconut flakes in the base for extra flavor and texture.
For a mocha-pumpkin twist, swirl melted vegan chocolate into the filling before chilling.
To make ahead, freeze the cheesecakes without topping for up to 2 weeks and thaw in the fridge overnight.
Pipe whipped cream just before serving for best presentation.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
