This pumpkin chocolate cheesecake is super rich.  It starts with a chocolate/almond crust, then a creamy cheesecake layer, and then it’s topped with more chocolate!  This one is a must try.   If you serve it at a party, no one will ever know it was made healthier with no refined sugar.  Trust me,  it’s that good.  🙂

    3. Press the crust into the bottom of a greased 6 inch round spring form pan . Place the pan in the fridge.
    4. In a food processor , combine all the cheesecake ingredients and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into the pan and place it in the fridge to set up. It needs about 6 hours to set.
    5. Once it's set, you can make the chocolate. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil using a double boiler method. Gently heat the chocolate and stir until it's smooth.
    6. Drizzle the chocolate over the top of the cheesecake. Place back in the fridge for another 30 minutes.

    1. Love the crust and filling. Delicious! I have one question about the ingredients. For the coconut oil is the amount for melted coconut oil or solid? Was yiu cheesecake able to be sliced? Thanks
      1. Thank you! :) I measure the coconut oil when melted and the cheesecake should be plenty solid enough to slice in the fridge. Did you have an issue with it?
