    These paleo pumpkin cheesecake jars are delightful! The creamy cashew cream combined with the date and nut based crust is delicious. These jars only require 20 minutes of hands on time and are something the whole family can enjoy.

    These cheesecake jars are great for when you host parties, especially baby or wedding showers! They are so cute.

    Paleo pumpkin cheesecake ingredients: 

    For the crust:

    • Cashews-This recipe is nut based. Cashews can make a delicious cream in vegan and paleo baking in cooking. The key to making paleo creams is soaking the nuts. A portion of the nuts in this recipe are soaked to make the cream. I like to soak my nuts for 4 hours minimum. 
    • Dates-Aka “paleo candy” Dates allow the cashew crust to stick together.

    For the filling: 

    • Cashews-This portion of the cashews you will soak. Soaking the cashews allows them to get softer which turns it into more of a creamy consistency. You can either sit them out on the counter in a bowl of water for 4 hours or pour boiling water over them in a pan for 30 minutes. 
    • Maple syrup-To sweeten the filling. You can also use honey if you are not vegan. 
    • Nut milk-To help break up the cashews. I like coconut or almond milk.
    • Coconut oil-To make things nice and smooth.
    • Canned pumpkin-Be sure it is plain pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling!
    • OPTIONAL- Coconut whipped cream.

    How to make:

    For the crust:

    • Place the dates and the cashews in the blender for 30 seconds or so. You may have to push down the sides to make sure everything is mixed in.

    For the filling:

    • Once you soak the cashews (either 4 hours in a bowl on the counter or 30 minutes in a boiling pot of water) drain the cashews and add all ingredients to the blender. 
    • Next, blend for 3-4 minutes. The timing will depend on the intensity of your blender. If the filling looks or tastes grainy keep on mixing it! It will smooth out.
    • Now, take your small mason jars or cups and add the crust to the bottom of the jar/ cup about 2 tbsp, then fill the remaining with the cashew filling.

    How long do these paleo cheesecake jars last? 

    • They last up to a week in the fridge. Be sure they are covered.
