Crustless, Gluten-free, refined sugar free, grain free HONEY LEMON CHEESECAKE.

one word.

yum.


It's actually easier then one would think to find a "dessert" that isn't full of crap not good for you stuff.

It generally takes more time because there are a lot of nuts and dates and things of that sort.

BUT, not this beauty.

Quick & Easy!!!!




it's super light!  PERFect summer dessert.


Here's what you need to buy:

  • 1 1/2 cups plain 2% greek yogurt (I don't recommend using fat free)
  • 1 cup non fat cream cheese
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp honey
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/4 cup arrowroot starch or cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 of a lemon's juice (plus more to taste) 

Preheat oven to 350F.  Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.  Mix until all ingredients are incorporated.  If it looks a little thin, that is OK!  Pour mixture into a greased 8x8 circle pan (a springform is best).  Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes.  Remove from oven.  Chill in fridge overnight, or for at least 8 hours.  After chilled, cut into slices and serve chilled.  Store leftovers in the fridge.


i actually only chilled mine about 6 hours...but it was just fine.
I also put lemon zest all over the top! :) 



disclaimer:  Obviously this will not taste like a cheesecake laden in sugar and butter and fat.  Don't expect that or you will be disappointed!  Changing your "dessert" palate over to a more real-food way of living is so good for you and if you get used to that, you'll probably really enjoy this little cake :)
