Ingredients
Base
80gramsWalnuts (Toasted)[3 oz.]
25gramsPitted Dates (I use Trident Brand)[1 oz.]
Filling
1cupPhiladelphia light cream cheese
½cupLow Fat Smooth Ricotta
1Limejuice and rind
1tablespoonSugar free Lime jelly crystals
1/3cupGranualted Stevia
Extras
6Foil cupcake liners
Optional
½teaspoonpowdered gelatine(see note 1)
1teaspoonboiling water
Instructions
Base: Spread walnuts onto a baking tray and heat for 5 minutes in a preheated oven at 180 degrees C
Base: Soak the dates in water for 10 minutes, then drain.
Base: In a food processor or high speed blender, blitz the toasted walnuts and dates
Base: Place foil liners into a 6 hole muffin pan. Equally divide the base mixture between each liner and press down firmly with fingers. Keep pressing the mixture until it is firmly packed into the wrapper with no loose bits.
Filling: In a clean and dry food processor/high speed blender, add the cream cheese, ricotta, lime, stevia and jelly crystals. Blitz until combined.
In a small cup, add the boiling water and gelatine. Add this to the filling mixture. Blitz for another 20 seconds.
Spoon the filling into the foil papers equally. I like to use a teaspoon for this as it helps to smooth the surface of the cheesecakes.
Leave the cheesecakes in the muffin tray and either cover with foil, or put into an air tight container if you have one big enough.
Store in the fridge overnight before serving.
Notes
Powdered gelatin is available from most supermarkets in Australia in the baking aisle. I usually find it where they keep the baking powder and bicarb soda.
I recommend storing the cheesecakes in the fridge overnight before serving.
Cheesecakes will keep for 4 or 5 days in an air tight container in the fridge.
