"Hi guys! I hope you all had a fabulous Halloween. I also hope that you all have some pumpkin puree left at home because you just have to make this vegan pumpkin spice cheesecake. The flavor combination (and all the fall spices) plus its soft, creamy texture makes it so delicious! Plus it’s fairly easy to make – you just blend everything together. It’s our favorite dessert atm, ideal for cosy afternoons. Halloween might be over but pumpkin season is not and there’s nothing better that you can do with it than making this cake! Trust me, it’s a fall showstopper."
