Sometimes when you're in a hurry, you may be tempted to reach for something quick and easy and not so good for your body.
I made this easy recipe after dinner on the fly on Mother's Day. My husband had made me a delicious meal and I coyly asked, “What's for dessert? ” Flustered, he stammered, “It took me a long time to make dinner, and I didnt have time to make dessert.”
So I went into the kitchen and used the cashew/macadamia nut cheese he'd made for the lasagana, and added coocnut butter, lemon, lemon oil, almond extract and erythritol (Zero). I would have done half stevia, half zero, but he doesn't like stevia. I put everything into a spring form pan and set it in the freezer for an hour or so. Had I wanted to spend more time, I could have made a crust. But we didn't need it. The result was a delicious guilt free dessert that didn't spike anyone's blood sugar!

1/2 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup raw macadamia nuts

Set cheesecake in refrigerator or freezer for a couple of hours to set.

The results were clean plates all around, including my husband's!
Have a delicious week,
