Today I would like to share another original recipe with you guys. As many of you know I do not bake often, the good thing is that I didn't have to bake this little delight either :).
Sometimes I end up with a lot of fruit and/or berries around that I don't know what to do with. Usually I just eat them raw by themselves, this time I decided to put them to work and create something pretty.
So this recipe is super easy, the hardest part is waiting for it to sorta harden in the freezer, since there's a berry smoothie involved in the mix, I strongly recommend you keep it in the freezer until it's gone, or else it is going to become mushy and melt.
Let's do this!
Kiwi Strawberry Cheesecake
Ingredients for the crust:
- 4 table spoons rolled oats;
- 4 tablespoons walnuts;
- ~ 20 g butter or coconut oil;
Directions:
Place the oats and walnuts on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven at 350F for about 10 minutes. Once they are nice and done, move them into your blender or food processor, add in the butter and pulse.
Let the crust mixture chill in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes, take it out and form your crust in a spring pan, or any other flat pan you have, put it back in the fridge.
Ingredients for the cheesecake filling:
- 4-5 strawberries diced;
- 1-2 kiwis diced;
- 8 oz cream cheese;
- 2 tablespoons sugar;
- 2 tablespoons sour cream.
Directions:
Place the berries in your blender and process into a smoothie like mix. Set aside. Also process cream cheese, sour cream and sugar, add in the berry mixture and process again.
Sometimes people use gelatin to make it firm, however I plan on storing my cheesecake in the freezer, it's also a tiny one, it will be gone in no time, so I'm not going to use any other additives.
Pour the cheesecake filling into the pan and freeze for 4-6 hours or overnight. Once it's chilled it tastes a lot like frozen yogurt and is so good to enjoy one of these hot summer days.
Oh yeah, fresh blueberries make a delicious decoration :)
I recommend you guys try it if it is something you fancy! Feedback, tips and whatnot are greatly appreciated!
Have a good one, enjoy a little more of these pictures!
