Ingredients

For the crust

  • 1 dl Oat flour
  • 1 1/2 dl Rice flour
  • 1 dl Cacao powder
  • 3 tsp Apple sauce
  • 3 tbsp Coconut oil melted and slightly cooled
  • 2-3 tbsp Water

For the filling

  • 150 g Goat cheese
  • 150 g Cram cheese (I used reduced fat)
  • 100 g Greek yogurt
  • 3/4-1 dl Sugar free granulated sweetener
  • 1/4 dl Sugar free powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tbsp Corn flour
  • 2 Eggs

For the topping

  • 200 g Red grapes
  • 1/2 dl Port wine
  • 1 tbsp Honey

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
  • Line and grease a 18 cm spring form.
  • Add the ingredients for the crust to a high speed blender and mix until you have a fine mixture. Take a little of the crust mixture and press between two fingers, if it sticks together it is good to go, otherwise add 1/2-1 tablespoon water more and mix again. Check again if it is done by pressing mixture between two fingers.
  • Add the crust to the prepared spring form and gently press down the bottom and up the sides. Place in the oven and bake for 14-16 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven when done and lower the heat to 175 degrees Celsius.
  • Meanwhile add goat cheese and cream cheese to a bowl and mix using a hand mixer until fluffy and smooth.
  • Add greek yogurt, granulated sweetener, powdered sugar, lemon juice and corn starch and mix again.
  • Next add one egg at a time, whisking it between just until the eggs are incorporated. Do not mix for too long.
  • Pour the batter over the pre-baked chocolate crust, place in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes. Until it is set around the edges but still is a little wiggly in the middle.
  • Turn off the oven, let it sit in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool completely for a few hours. Then place in the fridge for at least 5-6 hours, allowing it to set completely.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the fridge letting it come to room temperature.
  • Combine grapes, port wine and honey in a pan. Stir to combine. Bake in the oven for 15-25 minutes, until the grapes have caramelized.
  • Place the grapes over the cheesecake and pour the sauce over grapes and cheesecake.
