Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake

I love everything pumpkin, so when I came across this recipe I had to try it.  It came out great, and I love how simple it is....only 5 ingredients with a short prep time.  Enjoy!  (recipe from www.blogs.babble.com/family-kitchen)

You will need:

1 1/4 C raw cashews, soaked in water over night in the fridge
1 C maple syrup or 3/4 C agave nectar
1 - 15oz can organic pumpkin puree
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 - 8oz container vegan cream cheese
1 premade vegan graham cracker pie crust

Preheat oven to 400 F.  Drain cashews and place in food processor or Vitamix.  Add the remaining ingredients and blend on low for 2-3 minutes, then on medium for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until mixture is completely smooth.  Pour into crust and place in oven for 10 minutes at 400 F.  Reduce to 350 F and cook for an additional 30-40 minutes.  Cool for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.  Enjoy!!
