Blueberry / Strawberry Dream – Sugarless Dessert

Blueberry / Strawberry Dream – No Bake Cheesecake – Sugarless Dessert

For my health, I’ve been trying to cut down on processed sugars. While studying KETO to accommodate one of our guests at our June creative retreat, I discovered a wonderful natural sugar substitute that contains no carbs or calories. It’s called Granular Monk Fruit Sweetener with Erythritol.

This summer we picked a lot of fresh blueberries at the local Blueberry Farm and this dessert is one I perfected (even if I do say so myself). Everybody loves it around here — especially my 18-year-old. Yummy, without the guilt!

Ingredient List

• 1.5 cup chopped pecans (or you can use almonds).
• 1/4 cup flax seed
• 4 pitted dates
• 2 TBSP coconut oil
• 1.5 eight-ounce packages of cream cheese softened
• 1 cup Granular Monk Fruit Sweetener with Erythritol (This is a natural zero carb, zero calorie sweetener)
• 4 TBSP honey
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 pint of heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 16 oz of fresh strawberries sliced
• 3 cups fresh blueberries

Crust

In a food processor combine

• 1.5 cup of crushed pecans (or you can use almonds). Pulse a few times in food processor before adding the other ingredients.
• 1/4 cup flax seed
• 4 pitted dates
• 2 TBSP coconut oil

Chop in food processor until it’s a course crumble

Press into a 9×13″ pan and put in refrigerator while you make the filling

Filling

• 1.5 eight-ounce packages of cream cheese softened
• 1 cup Granular Monk Fruit Sweetener with Erythritol
• 4 TBSP honey
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 pint of heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup lemon juice

Using a mixer, blend the cream cheese with the monk fruit sweetener, honey and vanilla. Gradually, mix in the whipping cream on a low mixing speed. Don’t put in too much too fast or it will splatter everywhere. Once you’ve mixed it in, increase the speed on the mixer and whip the mixture until it’s stiff.  Then, blend in the lemon juice.

Recommendation: Taste the cream cheese mixture and make sure it’s sweet enough for you. You can always add more sweetener.

Assembly

• 16 oz fresh strawberries sliced
• 3 cups fresh blueberries

Take your 9 x  13 pan with the crust pressed in it. Put half of the cream cheese mixture over the crust. Top with cut strawberries. Then put the remaining cream cheese mixture over the strawberries. Top with blueberries.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

Serve and enjoy!
