Add all the crust ingredients to a food processor and blend until it becomes a sticky mass (scrape down the sides every now and then).
Line a baking tray with parchment paper or grease with coconut oil and press crust onto the bottom of the tin using your fingers.
Cheesecake Filling
Next, place all of the pumpkin pie filling ingredients, except for the peanuts into a food processor and blend until smooth.
Pour the pumpkin mixture onto the pie crust. Sprinkle over ½ cup of peanuts and put everything in the fridge to set for about 2 hours.
Chocolate Layer
To prepare the chocolate layer, put chocolate and coconut oil into a medium saucepan. Start melting the chocolate on very low heat and constantly stir with a whisk or spoon. (alternatively you could melt it in a water bath).
Pour chocolate layer onto your peanut butter layer, sprinkle with more peanuts and put it back in the fridge to set. For even more caramel flavors you could even go a step further and add another layer of my 2-Ingredient Caramel Sauce on top!
They can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
Pumpkin Puree: You could use store-bought pumpkin puree but I highly recommend checking out my Homemade Pumpkin Puree recipe. No oven or cutting included!
Coconut Cream:Make sure to put your coconut milk in the fridge the evening/day before you want to make this recipe. Coconut cream is the white part that remains at the top of the can if full-fat coconut milk is cool enough. Itis really important that your coconut milk is a full-fat milk and has a high content of coconut extract, otherwise there won’t be a lot of cream on top. I prefer using a coconut milk that contains 90% coconut extract, whereas I also tried using a 55% version and it didn’t work.
Food Processor: Even if you use a strong food processor, breaking down the ingredients might take a couple of minutes- so be patient and don’t forget to scrape down the sides of the bowl. I do not recommend using a hand mixer.
Salt: Make sure to not go overboard with the salt- only include a little bit or leave out completely.
