Just because my kids can't eat white flour and sugar doesn't mean they never get treats. This cheesecake is a favorite in our family and is often used as birthday cake. You can decorate it with fruit such as sliced strawberries to give it a more festive look. The recipe is taken from the book Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon.
The Ingredients
- 2 cups crispy almonds
Tips
- to make crispy almonds, you first soak them overnight in salty water, then dehydrate them. Regular raw almonds work fine too
- 1 cup pitted dates
- 4 cups home made cream cheese
Tips
- to make cream cheese pour yogurt onto a clean dishcloth over a strainer to allow the liquid whey to separate from the curds. When all the whey is drained out you are left with cream cheese
- 4 eggs, separated at room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups milk, preferably raw
- 2 tablespoons gelatin
- 1/2 cup raw honey (can get by with less)
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla (I also add 1-2 tablespoons almond extract)
- pinch sea salt
Step 1
Put egg yolks and milk in a sauce pan, beat lightly, sprinkle with gelatin and warm slightly until gelatin is dissolved.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine cream cheese, honey and vanilla and process until smooth.
Step 3
Add yolk mixture and process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and place in refrigerator while beating eggs.
Step 4
Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff, and fold into cream cheese mixture.
Step 5
In a food processor, process dates and almonds until they form a sticky mass. Press into a buttered 9-inch by 13-inch pyrex pan to form a crust.
Step 6
Pour cream cheese mixture into crust. Chill several hours or overnight before serving.
