A bit healthier than using a normal shortcrust or biscuit base and sugar to make the filling but just as delicious!

Cooking Instructions

45 mins
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to gas 4 / 180C / 350°F and line an 11"x 7" tray with parchment paper

  2. 2

    Mix the water and flax from the base ingredients together and set aside to thicken

  3. 3

    Put the flax mixture along with the rest of the base ingredients into a bowl and combine to form a dough

  4. 4

    Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the dish and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until slightly golden

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, make the flaxseed/water mix and set aside as before then put that plus the other topping ingredients (minus the pecans) in a blender and puree together

  6. 6

    Spread the topping over the baked base, sprinkle the chopped pecans over and bake for a further 25 - 30 minutes

  7. 7

    Let cool then cut into even slices and enjoy!

    You can use a 'cheesecake' biscuit base instead if you prefer or see my previously posted free-from shortcrust pastry recipe. You can also omit the pecan nut topping and use melted chocolate instead for a delicious Millionares Shortbread
