Recipe Procedure
CRUST
- Heat oven to 350F degrees and prepare a 9 inch pie plate or springform pan with oil or cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar, then drizzle the coconut oil over. Blend mixture thoroughly then drizzle with the nut milk. Should form a crumbly dough.
- Pour the crumbs into the pie plate or springform pan and press crumbs into the bottom and up the sides. Bake 8-10 minutes until firm and set aside to cool.
CHEESECAKE
- To make the topping combine the sugar, salt, and butter until crumbly, then fold in the chopped nuts and set aside.
- To make the filling, drain the cashews and blend with the tofu, banana, maple syrup, sugars, coconut oil, cornstarch, lemon juice & zest, vanilla extract and sea salt.
- Blend until nice and smooth, then add pumpkin purée cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg and blend some more until smooth. Pour into the crust.
- Bake 50 minutes to 1 hour, removing halfway through to add the topping. When done the top will be lightly puffed and the edges golden. Cool on a cooling rack and move to fridge for at least 3 hours or, even better, overnight.
