Elements
Graham Cracker Crust
3 cups vegan graham cracker crumbs*
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup vegan butter, melted
Pumpkin Cheesecake
1 block(15oz.) agency tofu (not further agency), drained and squeezed
16 ounces vegan cream cheese, (room temperature)
1/2 cup nondairy milk
1 can(15oz.) pumpkin (puree)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups natural cane sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg
pinch of salt
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
1/4 cup natural cane sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
Make the crust first. Preheat the oven to 350 levels(F).
Add the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and cinnamon to a big mixing bowl. Stir to mix. Then pour within the melted butter and stir to mix, ensuring the butter is evenly distributed, so all the crumbs are moist.
Grease or spray a 13×9 inch rectangular baking dish with non-stick spray.
Pour the graham cracker combination into the baking dish and press it down evenly into the pan. I like to make use of a cup to smash the graham cracker crumbs all the way down to make the crust.
Bake the crust for five minutes, then take away it from the oven.
Improve the oven temperature to 375 levels(F) and make the filling.
Drain the tofu and squeeze as a lot of the liquid out of the tofu over the sink along with your arms as you possibly can. If it begins to crumble that’s tremendous, you’re mixing it.
Add the tofu, cream cheese, milk, pumpkin, vanilla, sugar, cornstarch, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt to the blender. Mix on excessive, scraping down the perimeters as wanted till the combination is totally clean. This will take a couple of minutes, relying in your blender. In case your blender received’t mix the combination, drizzle in somewhat extra non-dairy milk in till it blends correctly.
Pour the cheesecake combination into the crust, clean out and bang on the counter to take away any air bubbles.
Bake the cheesecake for 20 minutes. Within the meantime, combine the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg for the topping.
After 20 minutes, take away the cheesecake from the oven. Evenly sprinkle the topping onto the cheesecake and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes. Or till the cheesecake is agency. The middle will nonetheless be barely jiggly.
Let cool for 4-6 hours. Or in a single day. After the cheesecake cools to room temperature, place within the fridge. When prepared lower into squares and serve. Maintain within the fridge.
