GF, DF, Vegan, Refined Sugar Free (Mostly) Pumpkin Cheesecake

This Thanksgiving I wanted to try something a little different from the traditional pies and apple crisps that I normally make. So, I tried to find a perfect recipe for my parent’s Thanksgiving dinner today.

As I sit here writing this (after eating waaay too much dessert) I feel it was a huge success. My dairy free, gluten free, vegan, refined sugar free cheesecake beat out the strawberry rhubarb pie. Everyone approved even my two-year-old son. My daughter said it was the best cheesecake she’s ever had (since she is dairy free, she doesn’t get too many cheesecakes, but I’ll take the compliment).

I tried finding the perfect recipes online, without much luck so I manipulated a few recipes and created my own.

Crust:

You can find a Gluten Free Graham Cracker, or Chocolate Cookie and crumble them up with ¼ cup Coconut Oil or you can make your own. I choose to make my own.

1 ¾ Cup Brown Rice Flour
