No-Bake Paleo Pumpkin Cheesecake

by

Everyone loves a good cheesecake right? What about a Paleo pumpkin cheesecake for the holidays? And, to top it all off, what if I told you this recipe requires a no-bake technique?  It’s true!

Recipes that come together in a few simple steps, with easy-to-find ingredients, are the kind of desserts that are hassle-free. 

The crust for this cheesecake is made from crushed almonds, almond flour and maple syrup—that’s it! After you blend them together and form the crust, it’s time to make the filling which is just as quick.
