Healthy(ish) Cheesecake

Been craving cheesecake for weeks but been trying to lay off sugar and white flour. Today I concocted this from about 6 different recipes and it worked! Base is crunchy and filling is surprisingly sweet for so little sugar.

Base:
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 cup wholegrain spelt (from health shop)
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 tbs sugar
Mix all together, press into greased pie tin and bake at 160C for 8-10 mins till it turns golden Leave to cool.

Filling
  • 500g of light cream cheese
  • 1 cup of light sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tbs castor sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 package gelatine
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
Disolve gelatine in water. Place rest of ingredients into a bowl and whisk until peaks form. Stir in gelatine solution. Pour filling into cooled base. Refrigerate for 2-3 hrs till set. Decorate with summer fruits.
