August is a time for long, warm evenings and garden get-togethers. For such occasions, we need a dessert that's both substantial and filling, yet also brings a dose of summer lightness. This cheesecake, prepared by our nutmeg lover and dietitian, Anna Błaszak (IG: @dietana_anna_blaszak) , is the perfect option for summer parties.
This classic, fluffy filling with a distinct lemon note perfectly complements the summer atmosphere. It tastes best after a few hours in the refrigerator, when it becomes perfectly firm and cooling.
An exotic twist with Coconoot Crunchy
What makes this cheesecake unique is its coconut-almond finish. Once baked and completely cooled, spread the top with Good Noot's sugar-free Coconut Crunchy frosting. The combination of exotic coconut and crunchy almonds evokes a paradise vacation and gives this cheesecake a modern twist. It's the perfect dessert for a summer table.
Recipe for Cheesecake with Coconut-Almond Cream
Ingredients:
-
1 kg of cheese for cheesecake (good quality cottage cheese from a bucket)
-
5 eggs
-
1/2 cup sweetener (or more, to your preference)
-
2 packages of vanilla custard powder
-
Juice from 1/2 lemon
-
Biscuits for the base
-
Coconot Crunchy Coconut and Almond Cream with No Added Sugar from Good Noot
-
Almond flakes for sprinkling
Preparation method:
-
Prepare the eggs: Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites with a mixer until stiff peaks form.
-
Beating the base: beat the egg yolks with the sweetener until light and fluffy.
-
To combine the mixture: add the custard powder, cheese, and lemon juice to the egg yolks. Mix until just combined.
-
Adding the foam: Add the beaten egg whites to the cheese mixture and fold everything in very gently with a spoon. This will make the cheesecake as light as an August cloud.
-
Baking: Line a baking pan with parchment paper and place a layer of biscuits on the bottom. Pour the cheese mixture into the pan. Bake for about 60 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
-
Decoration: Once the cheesecake has cooled completely (it's best to chill it further), spread a generous layer of sugar-free Coconoot Crunchy cream on top and sprinkle with almond flakes.
