How to Prepare Raw Pumpkin Pie Cheesecakes [Vegan, Grain-Free]

  1. Make the base by blitzing the pecans in a food processor until fine and crumbly.
  2. Add in the dates, almond butter, and cinnamon, further blending until a dough forms. Remove the dough from the food processor and press into the base of a lined baking pan. Ensure that all the mix is tightly packed and evenly distributed.
  3. To make the cheesecake later, place all the ingredients into the food processor and blend until smooth- this may take a few minutes.
  4. Pour the mix over the cheesecake base and spread out using the back of a spoon. Place into the freezer for an hour to set.
  5. If you like, top the cheesecakes with maple roasted pecans. To make them, coat a handful of pecans in a few tablespoons of maple syrup and a dusting of cinnamon. Roast in the oven for around 10 minutes at 360°F.
  6. Slice the cheesecake into small squares and place the cooled pecans on top. Drizzle some melted dark chocolate on top for some extra decoration. Keep in the refrigerator until ready to devour.

  1. This recipe is not "raw", because the recipe calls for Maple Syrup and Coconut oil! Maple syrup and Coconut oil are NOT "raw" foods! Coconut oil can only be considered \’raw\’ if cold pressed Virgin Coconut Oil is used!

    Here is why…

    For a food to be considered "raw", some experts state it can not be heated up past 104°F – 120°F. Maple Syrup is boiled at around 219°F when it is being processed!

    This recipe can only be considered raw, if cold pressed Virgin Coconut Oil is used!

    💥 Note: Virgin Coconut Oil: Whether it is raw or not depends on the production methods, if virgin coconut oil produced by expeller pressing, centrifuged or made from coconut milk by fermentation at high temperatures it cannot be regarded as raw and not suitable for raw diets. Only cold pressed (under 40⁰C / 104⁰F) virgin coconut oil can be classified as raw.
