Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your mini-cheesecake pan lightly.
- Whisk together flax meal and warm water, then refrigerate for about 10 minutes.
- Blend drained cashews, pumpkin purée, coconut sugar, almond milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- In a large bowl, mix softened coconut oil and maple syrup, then stir in coconut flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt until cohesive.
- Divide crust dough among the cavities of your mini-cheesecake pan and press flat.
- Bake crusts for about 5 minutes. They should be set but not browned.
- Mix gelled flax mixture into the creamy cashew mixture until combined.
- Flatten any risen parts of the crusts, ensuring an even surface.
- Fill each crust cavity with the pumpkin-cashew mixture, filling just over ¾ full.
- Bake for 11-12 minutes or until edges are set and slightly risen.
- Cool completely on the counter before refrigerating for at least 6 hours.
- Melt dark chocolate with coconut oil in 30-second intervals until smooth.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over each cheesecake to create faces.
- Insert a mint sprig into each cheesecake to mimic pumpkin stems.

Notes
Soak cashews overnight for best texture. Monitor baking closely to ensure proper texture and flavor.
