Do you love cheesecake but think you probably shouldn’t be eating it? We can help.

Making your own healthy desserts is a great way to indulge without the excess calories, fat and sugar found in commercial products.

While this isn’t an excuse to go wild and (ahem) eat a whole cheesecake – you can definitely serve this up to your family and friends and enjoy a slice with them. They won’t even know it’s a healthy version.

Healthy Mummy community member Pia has sent in this incredible dessert recipe. It’s perfect to enjoy on a special occasion even if you are taking part in our 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge.

Instructions
  1. Blitz all of the base ingredients and press into a 20 cm springform pan making sure to go as far up the sides as you can. Use a glass to get a smooth even base. Refrigerate.

  3. Dollop small amounts of Coco2 spread evenly around the filing and use a skewer to swirl.
  4. Set in fridge for at least a few hours, overnight if possible.
  5. To serve, break off and crumble the excess bits of base from the side of the pan.
