Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup finely chopped pecans
1 cup crushed vegan gingersnap cookies
3 tablespoons margarine, melted

PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE - VEGAN



Pumpkin Cheesecake - Vegan image

Light and fluffy, yet rich and creamy. Perfect if your looking for a change from plain pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. The rum extract adds a really nice flavor to this too. The brand of tofu cream cheese I prefer to use is Tofutti brand, the non-hydrogenated kind comes with a YELLOW lable, and is available in Whole Foods, or most well stocked supermarkets. Also, I like the technique of leaving the baked cheesecake in the oven to cool. There were NO CRACKS!! Basic recipe from The Vegetarian Meat and Potatoes Cookbook
