FINALLY! DESSERT that I don't have to feel guilty about and I don't wake up the next morning bloated (TMI?)
Cheesecake is a dessert I will always have a hard time not taking a second look and then a second bite... or more!!
This is by far the best "healthy" cheesecake recipe, I am so excited to share it with you!
As "Mommies" we got together for a weekend get-away to cook and talk Whole Food fun. We each picked a few items we wanted to test before sharing with you. This Cheesecake is the one I am most excited about. I hope you enjoy it!
Preheat oven- 325degrees Bake 30-35 minutes (until golden brown)
Filling:
1 c Soy sour cream
16oz soy cream cheese
1TBSP lemon juice
2 TBSP flour (unbleached)
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp sea salt
Crust:
4 c granola (any dry kind) I just bought some in bulk at whole foods market
8TBSP nondairy margarine
4TBSP sugar
Crust- Grind granola in a blender to a course flour, don't over do it. Mix granola flour with the sugar. Melt margarine and stir into the granola flour and sugar mixture. Press crust into a 9 or 10 inch spring-form pan.
Filling- Blend soy sour cream, soy cream cheese, flour, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and seat salt in a blender until smooth. Pour on top of crust.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
Let it set up in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours- 24 hours.
We drizzled melted dark chocolate and topped with whipped "cream"

PROFILE
I am a mom of four young girls. I love to run and be active. In March of 2007 I tested positive for BRCA1, a known breast and ovarian cancer causing gene. I met with genetic counselors and was given the advice to have an elective mastectomy and oophorectomy to ensure my health. I knew that was the only way. We decided to have one more baby before the surgeries. We had twin girls in October 2008. I had many sleepless nights just waiting and wondering when the cancer would strike. In May 2009, after reading about a whole foods-plant based diet, ("The China Study", and "Eat to Live"). I decided I will not have the elective surgeries. I will use nutrition as my drug of choice. It's empowering to have this knowledge, and to be in charge of my family's health! I am so excited to learn more and share with you!
