I love baked cheesecake but it’s not easy to find a healthy version.
So this was an experiment as a variation of my berry ‘ice cream’ with a few extras to make it cheesecake-y. And it worked 🎉

It isn’t that healthy but it is refined-sugar free. If you have a sweet-tooth, adding some honey or maple syrup to the berry mix should work.

Steps

1

Preheat oven to 160C. Line a 20cm cake tin with baking paper.
2

Mix the pistachios and olive oil. And spread into the lined tin: this is the ‘crust’.
3

Bake for 7-8 mins. The pistachios will just be turning fragrant. Leave to cool.
4

Put the berries and lemon juice in a shallow pan. Heat on medium-low. Mash the berries with a fork. Heat until they start to simmer.
5

In a bowl, beat the yogurt and cheese. Add the lemon zest and salt and fold through.
6

Add the berries (when cool) to the yogurt mix. Fold gently.
7

Layer the berry/ yogurt mix onto the pistachio crust. Put in the freezer for an hour or two so it’s set. It’s a good idea to cut it into slices when it’s just set...
8

That’s it! The cheesecake will be ok kept in the freezer for a few days. Enjoy with some berries, extra lemon zest and/ or fresh mint 😋
