There are two parts to this recipe, the crust and the filling.

• graham cracker crumbs
• vegan butter
• vegan sugar

And then comes the filling.  For this vegan pumpkin cheesecake filling you will need: 

• vegan cream cheese
• pumpkin puree
• vegan sugar
• cinnamon
• nutmeg
• ginger
• cloves
• allspice
• vegan whipped topping (store bought or homemade vegan whipped topping)

Optional: you may want homemade vegan caramel to top your vegan pumpkin cheesecake with if desired.

How do you make no bake vegan pumpkin cheesecake?

It’s super easy to make this.  

If you are using a store bought crust, then skip the crust steps. 

In a springform pan or pie plate, add the graham cracker crumbs, melted vegan butter, and brown sugar. 

Use a spoon to combine the ingredients very well, making sure the butter soaks into all the crumbs.  Then, using the back of the spoon, push down the mixture until an even layer of crust. 

Next, for the cheesecake filling. 

Add all the ingredients into a bowl, except the whipped topping and beat together.  Then, fold in the whipped topping. 

Pour the filling into the crust and then place in the fridge for at least 4 hours to set up. 

Once ready, remove and serve. Top with optional vegan caramel sauce or more vegan whipped topping. 

Can you prep ahead this vegan no bake pumpkin cheesecake?

Yes!  This vegan cheesecake recipe once made can last in the fridge up to 7 days. 

We do recommend that you cover the cheesecake in the fridge so no odors infuse into the cheesecake. 

Can you freeze no bake vegan pumpkin cheesecake?

You can also freeze this cheesecake for up to 3 months, then thaw and serve. 

To thaw, you can either leave on the counter for a few hours or place in the fridge the night before serving. 

Can you make this Top 8 Allergen Free Pumpkin Cheesecake?

Let’s talk about our allergens.  Wheat from graham crackers, soy from the vegan butter, and coconut in the whip. 

But don’t fret. We have solutions for all of these to make this Top 8 Allergen Free. 

Use gluten free graham crackers for your crust. You could even switch it up by crushing another type of gluten free vegan hard cookie to make a crust. 

For the vegan butter, use a soy free butter like Earth Balance soy free. It comes in a red tub.

Lastly, the coconut whip.  Replace this with almond or rice based whipped topping depending on your allergies. Those usually come in a spray based container. Just make sure you have enough (9oz plus an extra topping). 

These switches will make this a Top 8 Allergen Free no bake vegan pumpkin cheesecake!
