Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flax meal and warm water, allowing it to sit for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens into a gel.
- In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, pumpkin purée, coconut sugar, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Blend until smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened coconut oil, maple syrup for the crust, coconut flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the consistency resembles wet sand.
Baking
- Portion the crust mixture into a mini cheesecake pan and bake for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the crusts from the oven, let them cool slightly, and then fill each crust with the cheesecake mixture.
- Return the filled cheesecakes to the oven and bake for 11-12 minutes until just set.
- After baking, let the cheesecakes cool completely at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
Serving
- Drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the chilled cheesecakes and add a mint sprig on top before serving.

Notes
