Instructions
Prepare the Crust:
- Add all of the ingredients for the crust to a mixing bowl and stir to combine. The crust mixture will be crumbly.
Prepare the Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling:
- Add all of the ingredients for the filling to a blender and blend just until combined.
Prepare the Pumpkin Cheesecake:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly oil or spray a 12-hole muffin tray (Note: you can also use an 8-inch spring form pie pan to make a full-size pumpkin cheesecake).
- Press 2 to 3 tablespoons of the crust mixture firmly into each hole of the muffin tray - there is plenty of crust mixture, so feel free to go liberal here.
- Pour the filling mixture into the holes, filling them all the way up.
- Bake on the center rack of the oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until the centers of the cheesecakes are firm.
- Remove from the oven and allow cheesecake to cool for 30 minutes. Place tray in the refrigerator and chill until completely cold. When ready to serve, run a small knife along the edge of each cheesecake to pop them out of the tray.
- Serve with homemade coconut whipped cream and enjoy!
