It takes a side-by-side comparison to prove that this cheesecake is vegan! It has a wonderful pumpkin flavor and a delightful texture. Your non-vegan guests will never suspect that it is dairy free!
Ingredients
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans
- 1 cup crushed vegan gingersnap cookies
- 3 tablespoons margarine , melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Place gingersnaps and pecans in a food processor; blend into fine crumbs. Pour in margarine gradually, pulsing until crumbs are well combined. Cover the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with about 1/2 inch of the crumbs. Pack down crumbs to form a crust.

3
Place cream cheese, pumpkin, sugar, tofu, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, baking soda, and salt in a food processor. Puree until very smooth. Pour into the crust.

Bake in the preheated oven until cheesecake is set but still jiggles in the middle when gently tapped, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool for 30 minutes. Cover and refrigerate to let flavors mingle, 6 hours to overnight.

Orange, Poppy Seed, and Butternut Squash Coffee Cake
I came up with this coffee cake as a way to use up some leftover butternut squash puree. The cake itself is light, fluffy, and moist, with a crispy streusel topping providing a nice contrast. The flavor combo of the squash with the orange, poppy seeds, and spices turned out delicious. Enjoy slightly warm, or at room temp. Tastes even better the next day!
