I am looking forward to a family filled weekend at my parents’ ranch. We will be celebrating my niece’s first birthday and taking our fam Christmas card with Alana. I will also be shooting some looks with her while she is there so I am super excited.
These Vegan Pumpkin Pie Bites…
If you are a fan of pumpkin & enjoy healthier desserts. You should make these little pumpkin “cheesecake” bites. I think they are so tasty without all the extra “guilt”. I’m not going to lie I have even had them for breakfast. I keep them in the freezer but let them thaw out for about 15 minutes before eating.

Prep Time
6 hr
Total Time
6 hr
Pecan Crust
- 1.5 cups raw pecans
- 1 cup medjool dates (soaked in warm water for 10 mins)
- pinch of pink salt
Pumpkin Pie Filling
- 1.5 raw cashews (soaked in hot water for 1 hour)
- 1.5 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp full-fat canned coconut milk
- 3 Tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1/2 cup grade A maple syrup
- 1/3 cup organic pumpkin puree
- pinch of pink salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Add 12 cupcake liners to a muffin tin.
- Drain soaked medjool dates and add them along with pecans & pinch of pink salt into the bowl of your food processor. Process until a sticky dough forms. You may have to scrap the sides & process again.
- Add about 1 Tbsp of crust mixture into each liner of your muffin tin and press down with your fingers to line the bottoms. Place in freezer for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, drain soaked cashews and add them to your high-speed blender, along with the rest of your pie filling ingredients. Blend until smooth about 2 minutes. Add a little extra coconut milk, if it has trouble blending. Taste and add extra maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter treat.
- Divide filling among the chilled crusts. Cover with plastic wrap & freeze again for about 4 hours.
- Take out of freezer, allow them to thaw for about 15 minutes & enjoy!
- Store leftovers in the freezer for about a week.
Notes
- Remember to thaw them out before enjoying!
