best cheesecake ever!!!

 

 if you want to make a dense creamy cheescake this is just what you should try! it was A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!

I wanted to improve the previous recipe, but then ended up doing a totally different thing- and I'm glad I did. 

This recipe is also pretty random- I just kept on adding stuff without actual idea how it will turn up.

ok so lets start with the crust:

I put 57g of apple and 41g of zucchini in a bowl, blended, added a tsp of vinegar and a 20g of erythritol. than added 34g of flaxseed flour, 52g of coconut flour and 82g of almond flour. mixed with my hands and press onto the baking dish (glass caserole dish for me- my kitchenware is very limited.) I baked it medium for like 15 minutes ( I was preparing cheescake batter than)

for the batter:

I took a large tupperware and dumped 452g of cottage cheese ( it was 3 small containers and it was 3% fat) then I added one (194g) fat free local cottage cheese (it's denser and a little more like cream cheese, but sans the creamy effect) but I'm sure you can just use more cottage cheese. I blended it all till it was rather smooth (don't worry, you will blend it more later, some lumps are ok) than I added 52g of erythritol and some liquid aspartame ( i recommend to sub stevia for the aspartame, but i'm still waiting for my parcel with it- international shipping is not fast- unless you can afford the supper cool and extra expensive shipping options) back to the recipe: after blanding the cheese and sweetener I dumped one whole egg and 3 egg whites they were from large eggs (160g eggwhites and 18g egg yolk) blended again till smooth dumped 41g of coconut flour, blended and thats it!

at this point I took out the crust- pour the batter on top, return to the oven and bake on low for 45 minutes to an hour- I touched the top and it was sort of firm.

You HAVE to cool it before you eat it- but it's sooooo worth it.

I ate the whole thing yesterday. no, really I had a piece once it cooled, then i ditched the idea of making dinner and cut myself 2 pieces and then had a slice while watching a movie and then next one and one for a late night snack.

Was I worried that I ate it all? nope, the stats are pretty damn great. The whole pie was 1352 calories

my first post :)

hi! My name is Dee and I'm here to share all my weird recipes! they are low cal, healthy, FULL OF FIBER and voluminous! and most importantly all yum, yum, yum! this is the first one and bare with me on this one, it's my first time formulating a recipe so if anything is not clear feel free to ask :D

 

fiber rich sweet crackers:

ingredients:wheat bran 150 g

any nut flour 50-100 grams*

small apple

4 egg whites
sweetener*

how to:

blend the apple (or if you are short on time use one of those baby food jars) with egg whites and sweetener. now we all have some favorite sweeteners- I looooove truvia, but in this recipe I used the devil- aspartame! I know, I know it's bad for you and I don't advise you to use it, but I'm out of any good quality sweetener for now on. hopefully in near future I'll be able to get some, but first I need a miracle and some money on my credit card :-)

back to the recipe: in the bowl mix wheat bran with nut flour (almond, hazelnut, flaxseed, pb2 or anything you like, this time I used partially defatted sesame flour and it was yummy!). the more nut flour you will use the nuttier and well, tastier the crackers will be.

add the apple egg white mixture and mix well. doing it with hands speeds it up a lot but be prepared for it to stick to your hands a little.

you are basically done with the preparation. now the baking- there are 2 approaches- microwave and oven.

for the microwave: dump the "dough" on the plate (something safe for the microwave is advisable although I have to admit I've been using normal plates for ages and nothing ever happened). press the "dough" to the plate like you would do with a pie crust. the more you press the firmer the crackers will be- i like them EXTRA hard and solid so I press hard, but my bf laughs I eat stones :D score the dough with the pizza cutter or a regular knife, but don't disconnect it yet- just put it in a microwave. now it all depends on the model you have- mine is definitely from the previous century so take it into consideration and adjust cooing time if you are a little more tech- savvy :P

I like to put it on high for 8 minutes than flip it on the second plate (there will be quite a lot of extra moisture on the plate, but don't be alarmed it will evaporate) than return to the microwave for 6 minutes, flip again, microwave for 4, flip and microwave for additional minute or 2. once you finish they might still be slightly moist but once they cool they will become cracker- like. I like when they become a little darker- sort of like a minute before they burn so I cook them a little longer sometimes, but they tend to burn quite easily so watch them carefully at least for the first time you make them

In the oven: basically the method is the same you flip it once in a while- take them out fully when they start to brown a little- it will take maybe 20 minutes total (not much longer than my ancient microwave!!!) cool for like 10 minutes and they are ready to eat!

I loooooooooooooooove to just pour yogurt on them and eat them like cereals but they taste good plain too. just remember there are FULL of fiber so don't go crazy on them if you are not used to lots and lots of fiber.

NUTRITIONAL INFO (will vary greatly- depends on which flour you used and how much of it. I used 50 g. of sesame flour and the whole batch (pictured) came up to be 510 calories and over 70 grams of fiber!!!
