Instructions
Prepare the Hazelnut Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly coat an 8” x 8” square baking pan (or 8” round cake pan) with oil.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together all of the ingredients for the crust.
- Pour the crust mixture into the prepared baking pan and press it into the bottom and sides of the dish with your hands, evenly distributing the mixture (note: this doesn’t have to be perfect).
- Place the crust in the oven and bake it for 8 minutes, until slightly browned on the edges. Remove from oven and allow crust to cool.
Prepare the Pumpkin Cheesecake Filing:
- Add all ingredients for the cheesecake to a blender and blend just until completely combined.
- Pour the cheesecake filling into the pan with the crust.
- Bake cheesecake in the oven for 40 to 50 minutes, until the center is set up and doesn’t jiggle when you shake the pan.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then place it in the refrigerator to chill and set up for at least 2 hours prior to serving.
- Serve with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt (or whipped cream), chopped nuts, and a drizzle of pure maple syrup.
Notes
- *I recommend using full-fat plain yogurt that is very thick and creamy. 2% or whole milk Greek yogurt works, too!
- **You can replace the tapioca flour with corn starch. I have not tested this recipe using corn starch, but have read that you can use corn starch as a 1:1 replacement for tapioca flour.
