Step 1

In a medium saucepan, boil 2 cups of water. Place the cashews in a medium-sized bowl. Once the water is boiling, pour the water over the cashews and soak the cashews for at least 15 minutes (up to 1 hour) and set aside. When the cashews are ready to use, be sure to pour out the water.

Step 2

In a Food Processor with an S-shaped blade or blender, blend the dates, apricots, cinnamon, and almond meal together until it forms a sticky chunky consistency. If the mixture is too dry, add 1-2 more dates.

Step 3

Transfer the mixture to a parchment-lined baking tin. (The parchment paper makes the cheesecake easy to remove when it is ready). Place the crust into the fridge until later.

Step 4

In the blender, combine all of the cheesecake filling ingredients (except the pumpkin filling ingredients) and blend until smooth, at least 2-3 minutes. Remove the baking tin with the crust from the fridge. Pour the cheesecake filling into the baking tin.

Step 5

Clean the blender and combine the ingredients for the pumpkin filling. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Spoon dollops full of the pumpkin filling into the cheesecake, making sure to leave spaces.

Step 6

Take a butter knife and make circles and swirls into the cheesecake to spread the pumpkin mixture and make a swirl design.

Step 7

Loosley cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and put it in the freezer. Allow the cheesecake to set for at least 2 hours.

Step 8

After at least 2 hours, simply remove the cheesecakes from the freezer. Let the cheesecake sit out at room temperature for 20 minutes for the optimal texture. Top with your favorite fresh fruit, chocolate, or whipped cream and Enjoy!
