Pumpkin-Chocolate Cheesecake Sugar Free

Makes one Large 10” Cheesecake or 2 Small  8" cheesecakes


Chocolate Sugar-Free Crust

  • 1 cup soaked and dehydrated walnuts or pecans
  • 1 cup ground chia seeds (black or white)
  • 2 cups dried coconut, ground into a powder
  • 6 Tablespoons powdered Lakanto or xylitol (or coconut palm sugar)
  • 1/4 tsp. Mineral Salt
  • 2 Tbs. softened or melted coconut oil (or cacao butter)
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon powder
  • dash of cayenne
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder or carob powder

 

  1. Place all ingredients in your food processor fitted with the “S” blade attachment.
  2. Process ingredients until the crust starts to rise on the sides of the processor bowl. Stop the machine and mix with a spatula or spoon.
  3. Assemble the cheesecake pan with the bottom upside-down (with lip facing down). This makes it much easier to serve.
  4. Rub with a little bit of coconut oil to keep the crust from sticking.
  5. Distribute crust evenly on the bottom of pan and firmly press down by hand and press up the sides just slightly.
  6. Set in a freezer or refrigerator until ready to be filled.


Filling:

  • 2 1/2 macadamia nuts
  • 3/4 cup Irish Moss paste
  • 3 Cups water
  • 3/4-1 cup Xylitol (to taste) Note: you can also use coconut palm sugar here if you prefer
  • 2 tsp. vanilla powder
  • 1/2 tsp. turmeric powder (for nutrition and color)
  • 1/4 tsp. mineral salt
  • 2 Tbs. non GMO powdered soy lecithin
  • 1cup coconut oil (softened or melted)
  • 2-3 TBS Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1 cup shredded carrots (for color)

 

  1. Blend all ingredients on high speed until there is a smooth, shine to the batter.
  2. Pour 1/3 of the mixture into a cheesecake pan.
  3. Pour another 1/3 into a separate bowl and set aside.
  4. To the last 1/3 that is still in the blender, add 2/3 cup cacao powder and blend again until smooth.
  5. Pour this on top of the “pumpkin” layer.
  6. Zig zag the third layer that you set aside to the top of the chocolate layer and use your spatula or a chopstick to swirl the layers together. Don’t over mix.
  7. Sprinkle with cacao nibs around the outer edges if desired and let it set up in the freezer for 2 hours or more or refrigerate for 4-6 hours.
  8. This cheesecake will last 1 week in the refrigerator or 1 month frozen.
  9. Remove spring-form ring by inserting a non-serrated paring knife  or hard, thin, flexible spatula along the inside edge of the pan.
  10. Open the spring-form, remove cheesecake, slice into 10 pieces, garnish with a mint leaf and possible a zig zag of chocolate syrup (for recipe see Elaina’s Pure Joy Kitchen Book 2) and serve!
  11. Store covered in your refrigerator from 4-7 days. Cheesecakes freeze well for longer storage.
  • Tips: The most important thing is to blend all ingredients really well. If your blender has less than 8 cups full capacity or if your blender is struggling, blend 1/2 the recipe at a time. If the filling doesn’t taste rich and flavorful, add another small pinch of salt and maybe a little more vanilla and blend a little longer.

 


Thank you to Chaya Ryvka for her original creation of White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake which inspired me to do sugar free, lighter version

   
"Corn" Tamale Wraps or Shells or Bread

3/4 cup dry golden flax seeds ground into meal (blend dry seeds first before getting your blender wet)
1 cup soaked raw almonds (2/3 cups before soaking) soaked 4-8 hours
1 cup raw hemp seeds
1/2 cup pine nuts or cashews
2 cups fresh or frozen corn OR yellow bell peppers chopped small (yellow bells are a healthier choice!)
2 Tbs. xylitol, lakanto, maple syrup or honey (note, maple syrup and honey are not low glycemic)
1 tsp high mineral salt
1 clove garlic
½ tsp. turmeric for color
Optional: add 1 minced jalapeño for extra spice


Step 1: Put almonds and hemp seeds in the blender with enough water to cover, and blend until creamy.
Use a celery stalk as your spatula to keep things moving in the blender.
Step 2: Blend pine nuts, yellow pepper or corn and sweetener in the blender until creamy. You may need to add a little water to blend.
Step 3: Put all ingredients together in the bowl and mix well. Let sit for a few minutes to thicken.
Step 4: Spread the batter onto 1 and 1/2 16 x 16 dehydrator trays covered with a teflex sheet. Make the wrap as thin or as thick as you like about ¼” thick is great for the Enchilada Spirals. Dry at 105 degrees for about 4 hours. Flip the wrap and take the teflex off if it will come off easily.
Dry for another 3 hours or until bread is still very moist and is easy to lift up. At this point you can layer on a filling and roll it up then slice it, or cut it into squares and use as tortillas.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

**Note: A very thick wrap is great for making a roll or spiral. Make the wraps thinner if you want to use them for taco shells or tortillas.

Collard Wraps:

  1. Prepare the collard leaves by cutting off the stems at the base of the leaf, then take a small paring knife and carefully cut the thick bump of stem off the back of the leaf making it flusher to the leaf. This is to make the leaf flatter and easier to roll. If the leaf is extra large, cut it in half.
  2. Mix the lemon and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Take one leaf at a time and coat it in the mixture. As you coat each leaf, place it in a covered lasagna pan to marinade overnight in the refrigerator or for several hours at room temperature until they are soft and tender. They can continue to marinade for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
