Ingredients:

-1/2 cup greek yogurt

-1/2 cup collagen powder

-1 tsp vanilla extract

-pinch of salt

Pumpkin Swirl:

-1/2 cup pumpkin puree

-1 tbsp maple syrup

-1 tsp cinnamon

-1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Instructions:

🥣 1. Make the Crust:

In a food processor, pulse sliced almonds into fine crumbs. Then combine with other crust ingredients. Press mixture evenly into the bottom of a lined baking pan, and freeze to set while you make the cheesecake.

🥄 2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

Beat cream cheese with maple syrup until smooth. Then add the remaining cheesecake filling ingredients, mixing until well combined. Scoop half of this batter onto the almond crust and smooth out evenly.

🎃 3. Make the Pumpkin Swirl:

In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin swirl ingredients. Dollop this mixture over the cheesecake layer.

🍰 4. Swirl the Layers:

Add the remaining cheesecake batter on top of the pumpkin, then use a butter knife or skewer to gently swirl the two layers together, creating a marbled effect.

❄️ 5. Freeze & Set:
