Ingredients You'll Need
Crust:
•2 cups graham cracker crumbs
•2 tablespoons Coco Treasure Organic Coconut Oil, melted
•2 tablespoons Coco Treasure Organic Coconut Sugar
Filling:
•2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
•½ cup coconut sugar
•¼ cup Coco Treasure Organic Coconut Nectar Syrup
•3 large eggs
•1 15-ounce can pumpkin
•1 teaspoon Coco Treasure Organic Coconut Flour
•2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Directions
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix all ingredients for the crust in a medium-sized bowl. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch spring-form pan. Set aside
For Filling:
1. Beat cream cheese, coco sugar and coconut syrup in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture becomes fluffy.
2. Add eggs, one at a time. Beat on low speed just enough to incorporate each egg before adding another.
Add remaining ingredients. Beat on low to mix well.
Pour filling over crust:
1. Bake approximately 50 minutes or until the center is almost set. A pick placed into the center will still have a small amount of batter on it. Turn the oven off and let the cheesecake set in the oven for another 60 minutes.
2. Remove from oven, and run a small knife around the rim of the springform pan in order to loosen the cheesecake from the sides.
3. Continue cooling on a wire rack until the pan is cool to the touch.
4. Remove the outer ring of the pan. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours before serving.
