Cheese Cake With Nut Crust

Okay here it is! I know I've raved about this recipe before and I've finally taken the time to type it up for all of y'all!!

Recipe taken from "The Gluten-Free Bible" by Jax Peters Lowell (pg. 141)

This cheesecake isn't as sweet and heavy as typical varieties. It can be baked in 4 individual 4-inch springform pans or in one 8-inch springform pan.

*Note: I found a springform pan (which is a pan that can be separated side from bottom) at Wal-Mart for like $6. I know Williams-Sonoma has individual sized pans...but they're probably a fortune :)

Goat Cheese Cake with Nut Crust and Lemon Curd

Serves 4-6 (*although I managed to make this last a week in my fridge with me eating a piece every night)

Cake:

10 oz goat cheese (*use a good cheese like Chevre or Montrachet)

6 oz cream cheese

½ cup sugar

3 large eggs

zest of one lemon

Crust:

½ cup pinenuts

½ cup almonds

1/8 cup brown sugar

2 tbsp diced cold butter

dash of salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

2. Roast nuts: coarsely chop and arrange on a baking sheet in one layer. Roast at 300 degrees for 10 minutes or until slightly golden in color. Allow to cool.

3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

4. Allow all batter ingredients to come to room temp. Mix by hand or in mixer until smooth - a few lumps are okay. Set aside.

5. In a food processor, coarsely grind roasted nuts. Add the rest of crust ingredients and pulse in the food processor. Crust should resemble the consistency of graham cracker crust. Press crust in pan and bake for 7 minutes.

6. Pour batter into baked crust. Set baking pan in a bowl with a little bit of water and place on a baking sheet to ensure cake bakes evenly.

7. Bake until top is set and lightly colored, approximately 30 - 35 minutes for large pan, 20 - 25 minutes for small pans.

Lemon Curd:

5 egg yolks

½ cup confectioners sugar

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

2 oz sweet butter

1 tbsp cold water

Raspberry Port Syrup

1 cup of Raspberry port

*Note: I substituted Smucker's raspberry syrup (for pancakes) and just microwaved it. It worked great!!

Directions:

1. Whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and lemon juice over double boiler until thick and slightly glossy.

2. Take off heat and whisk in butter and water. Set aside to cool.

3. Pour port into a saucepan over medium heat until glossy and reduced to about 1/4 cup, approximately 45 minutes.

4. Serve each slice of cheesecake with a dollop of lemon curd and a drizzle of raspberry syrup.

ENJOY!!

i bet you could make the cheese cake with a cookie crumb crust! just take some gluten-free cookies, and make 'em crumbly (in a blender)....that would be like a graham cracker crust, only better! i know Pamela's shortbread cookies are good when crumbled on ice cream...those would probably work!

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.
