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

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.

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.

I love this kale Caesar salad made with lovely dark green kale leaves and a homemade Caesar salad dressing that's easy to make in minutes in a blender. Sprinkle croutons and shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on top, and it's ready to serve!
