Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl, combine the ground flax and water, and set aside for 3-5 minutes. This creates an egg substitute.
In a food processor, finely chop pecans.
In a mixing bowl, combine pecans, almond flour, sugar, arrowroot, salt, and baking soda.
To the flax egg, mix in oil, vinegar, and vanilla.
Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
Pour batter into a 8X8 baking pan and bake for 13-15 minutes until the crust is cooked through.
While the crust is baking, in a food processor or high-powder blender, combine the “cheesecake” filling ingredients until smooth. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the pumpkin swirl ingredients.
Once the crust has baked and cooled, pour “cheesecake” filling onto crust.
Pour spoonfuls of pumpkin swirl onto the “cheesecake” filling and swirl as desired.
Freeze for 1-2 hours or refrigerate overnight until set up.
DEVOUR! 🙂
