This holiday season, whipping up a pumpkin dessert<\/a> just got easier and <\/em>healthier. In this vegan-friendly pumpkin cheesecake recipe, we keep the crust gluten-free<\/a> with pecans, almond flour and dates. And the secret to preparing the deliciously smooth pumpkin filling? Vegan cream cheese (such as cashew or almond cream cheese). Warm fall spices, like pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and nutmeg, enhance the flavor of the dessert, so you don\u2019t need much sweetener. The best part: There\u2019s no baking at all, so you can save more room in the oven for the turkey and other sides. Your vegan and Paleo<\/a> guests aren\u2019t the only ones that\u2019ll thank you for this guilt-free treat. Even your dairy-eating friends will love it, too!<\/p>\n
