Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place gingersnaps and pecans in a food processor; blend into fine crumbs. Pour in margarine gradually, pulsing until crumbs are well combined. Cover the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with about 1/2 inch of the crumbs. Pack down crumbs to form a crust.
- Place cream cheese, pumpkin, sugar, tofu, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, baking soda, and salt in a food processor. Puree until very smooth. Pour into the crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheesecake is set but still jiggles in the middle when gently tapped, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool for 30 minutes. Cover and refrigerate to let flavors mingle, 6 hours to overnight.

PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE - VEGAN
Light and fluffy, yet rich and creamy. Perfect if your looking for a change from plain pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. The rum extract adds a really nice flavor to this too. The brand of tofu cream cheese I prefer to use is Tofutti brand, the non-hydrogenated kind comes with a YELLOW lable, and is available in Whole Foods, or most well stocked supermarkets. Also, I like the technique of leaving the baked cheesecake in the oven to cool. There were NO CRACKS!! Basic recipe from The Vegetarian Meat and Potatoes Cookbook

Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Process all ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth and creamy. Pour into pie crust and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Allow cheesecake to cool slightly, then refrigerate. Cheesecake will set more upon chilling.
Tips:
- Use a high-quality vegan cream cheese. This will ensure that your cheesecake has a rich, creamy flavor and texture.
- Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to combine smoothly and evenly.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cheesecake tough and dense.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cheesecake to set properly.
