One of my favourite deserts is a cheesecake, while the decadent sounding ones like baileys and chocolate or peanut butter chocolate always sound delicious I always find they are a bit too sweet by the time you get to the last bite so often I end up with a nice plain Lemon Cheesecake on those occasions I do indulge.
There is something about the combination of both sweet and sour that makes a lemon cheesecake super delicious as well as slightly refreshing and I find I don’t feel as sluggish after any sweet treat with lemons as well.
I decided to make a healthier no bake lemon coconut cheesecake because lemon is the bomb and I also have a fondness for coconut! I went for a no bake cheesecake simply for the fact that I am lazy and didn’t want the process to take that long as I had lots of other things to get done the weekend I made this healthier no bake lemon coconut cheesecake!
If you prefer a sweeter cheesecake rather than a tart cheesecake then I suggest you double the Chelsea Organic Coconut Sugar which is used in the filling and keep the same amount for the base as the base is already relatively sweet. I really liked the texture of this cheesecake, it was almost a cross between a traditional cheesecake and a mousse, and it kept its shape really well and was the perfect amount of sweetness and tartness.
Ingredients
140 Grams Ground Almonds
50 Grams desiccated Coconut
50 Grams Butter
3 Tablespoons Chelsea Organic Coconut Sugar
2 Teaspoons Gelatine
350ml Boiling Water
Juice of 2 Medium Lemons
Zest of 1 Medium Lemon
500 Grams Cream Cheese
Directions
- Add the boiling water, gelatine & 2 Tablespoons of Chelsea Organic Coconut Sugar to a bowl and allow to cool a little while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Combine the Almond Flour, Coconut, 1 Tablespoon of Chelsea Organic Coconut Sugar and the Butter in a bowl (or your food processor).
- Press into your greased cheesecake tin.
- Add the Cream Cheese, Lemon Juice & Lemon Zest to a bowl (or your food processor) and combine.
- Slowly add the boiling water mixture to the cream cheese mixture and combine.
- Pour the mixture over the base.
- Sprinkle some coconut chips or desiccated coconut over the top. (Optional)
- Pop in the freezer for a couple of hours to set.
- Pull out of the freezer and slice and store in the refrigerator.
