CHEVRE CHEESECAKE



Chevre Cheesecake image

A gluten-free, soy-free, cow dairy-free New York cheesecake that has that decadent mouth-feel. I have served it several times without anyone noticing it wasn't the REAL STUFF. At a recent party my husband mentioned that he had not had cheesecake for 20 years because of his allergies so this became my goal and voila! Enjoy!

No-Bake Cheesecake with Gingersnap Crust image

Not all cheesecakes are baked; this eggless version is just cream cheese, lemon juice, sugar, and heavy cream over a gingersnap crust. Still, it's so rich that one cake is enough for a dozen slices.

1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Special equipment: 9-inch springform pan
1 cup brown sugar

1 ripe pineapple, top, skin and core removed, cut into bite-size wedges

  • Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Put on a baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through the cooking process. If the cheesecake starts to color, tent the springform pan with aluminum foil.

1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 grates of fresh nutmeg
