Cranberry Cheesecake

Dec 22, 2015

I have a very simple and so delicious recipe for a cake. It might take a bit of the time, not so much the preparation time, but more the “waiting” time. I suggest you prepare the ingredients the evening before, you make it in the morning and enjoy it after lunch. After that you can keep it in a fridge for another 5 days (make sure wrapped good, otherwise it might dries out).

It’s perfect for this time, the color fits with Christmas and it’s healthy! So you don’t need to loose track on your diet. Going to the “Fit direction”! 😀

CRANBERRY CHEESECAKE

(gluten free, vegetarian, refined sugar free)

* Recipe for 12 pcs

* Equipment: baking paper, food processor, round cake model 33 cm, rubber/plastic gloves

Ingredients for the bottom:

– 187,5g coconut flour

– 187,5g dates (pitted)

– 2 tsp coconut oil (melted)

– 2 tsp water

– 48g flaxseeds

– pinch of salt

Ingredients for the middle:

– 500g dry cranberries (soaked)

– 500g quark

– 120g coconut flour

Topping:

– coconut chips

Step by step guide:

Put cranberries in a bowl and pour water over them. Enough to cover them. We want to achieve that is water enough to be absorbed by cranberries and not too much. Leave them this way for at least couple of hour, over night or with hot water for about 2 hours.

Put dates for the bottom into the food processor and blend them until shredded into small pieces. Add coconut flour, flaxseeds and salt. Mix it for another 10, 15 seconds. By opening only the top of the lid and the processor still running, add the coconut oil and water. Let it run for another 20 seconds.

Bottom is ready. Make sure you cover the cake model with the baking paper and put on the rubber gloves. Take the mass out of processor and with hands press it equally to the bottom. When happy with the bottom put it in the fridge.

Start with the middle part

Check the cranberries – soft enough? Put them in the food processor and blend them for about 10 seconds. Add quark and coconut flour. Blend for another 20 seconds. It only matters that is mixed good. Pour this mass over the bottom. Cover the whole cake into plastic and put it into the fridge.

The best for this cake is that stays for couple of hours in the fridge. If cutting too soon it might goes a bit apart because to top is not “soaked” properly yet.

I suggest you cut it and then put the topping over it.

Enjoy!
