If you are strongly opposed to having animal byproducts including dairy in your food, and more specifically desserts, this vegan cheesecake will be right up your alley. Created by the blog Tali's Tomatoes, the autumnally appropriate recipe has a vibrant pumpkin flavor and a orange hue to match.
To recreate this vegan cheesecake (which, of course, does not actually contain cheese), you will need ingredients such as dates, date water, salt, raw almonds and coconut oil for the crust. The filling is made with raw cashews, cooked pumpkin, coconut oil, fresh lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, vanilla essence, cinnamon, freshly ground nutmeg, salt and your sweetener of choice (Tali used a combination of maple syrup, rice music and liquid stevia).
