Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake
Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake is a delicious dessert made without any animal products. It typically includes a crust made with ingredients like nuts and dates, and a creamy filling made with cashews, pumpkin puree, coconut milk, and sweetened with maple syrup or agave. It’s a perfect treat for anyone following a vegan diet or looking for a dairy-free alternative to traditional cheesecake.

Ingredients: For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups nuts (such as almonds, pecans, or walnuts)

For the filling:
- 2 cups raw cashews (soaked in water for at least 4 hours or overnight)

- In a food processor, blend the nuts, dates, and salt for the crust until well combined and sticky.
