Vanilla Plum Cheesecake
Ingredients
- Crust:
- 6 oz flour of choice (whole wheat/wheat/spelt)
- 1.4 oz almond flour
- 2.5 oz butter, cold
- 1.4 oz @myrawjoy cashew butter *
- 1.8 oz birch sugar (or any other refined sweetener)
- 1 egg
- Filling:
- 14 oz Magerquark (similar to very stiff Greek yogurt with 0.2% fat)
- 5.3 oz cream cheese (the creamier, the more fat it has)
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
- 2.5 oz birch sugar (or any other sweetener)
- 1.2 oz vanilla custard powder (you can replace it with starch + vanilla paste)
- extra vanilla *optional
- Plums:
- 5.3 oz plums, fresh or frozen
- 5 fl oz water
- 1/2 tsp starch
- 1-2 tsp sweetener of choice
Instructions
- Start with the crust: Mix together the flour, almond flour, and birch sugar. Add the cold butter and cashew butter, kneading until you get a crumbly texture. Add the egg and knead until a dough forms. Let it chill in the fridge for 20-30 minutes. While it rests, grease the baking pan and preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Roll out the dough into a circle about 28-30 cm in diameter and place it in the pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
- For the filling: Blend the Magerquark, cream cheese, eggs, and birch sugar until smooth. Take 3-4 tbsp of the mixture and combine it with the custard powder in a small bowl. Mix both until smooth. Transfer the mixture to the pan and bake at 170°C (340°F) for 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 145°C (293°F) and bake for another 40 minutes until the top is solid but slightly wobbly. Let it cool completely.
- For the plums, cook fresh or frozen plums with water, starch, and sweetener. Once cooled to room temperature, place them on top of the cake. Enjoyyy! 🥰
