Seriously, how good does this look!I am not much of a baker, actually I'm no baker at all. I have dabbled in the art a total of two times.
I think I will make it a third with this amazing recipe :)
Taken from the lovely Creature Comforts blog..
The Crust: Ginger Snap Pecan
- 2/3 bag of gluten free ginger cookies, finely ground (make about 1 to 1 1/12 cups of ground)
- 1 cup Raw Unsalted Pecans
- 1/8 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Butter (unsalted)
- 1 pinch of sea salt
Pecans burn easily, so it is best to err on the side of taking them out too soon, rather than burn them. Allow nuts to cool. Grind your cookies in a food processor until you have fine crumbs. Pour crumbs into a medium mixing bowl and stir in sugar and a small pinch of sea salt.
Grind cooled pecans in food processor until they are very fine. Do not over-grind or they will begin to turn into nut butter. Add nuts into the cookie crumb mixture and stir well.
Pour melted butter into crust mixture, and stir well with a fork until clumps form. If the mixture is too dry, you can add in additional melted butter. Pour crust mixture into a fluted pie dish and press down until it covers the bottom and sides of the dish. Place in the refrigerator to cool, and then fill with your cheesecake filling!
The Cheesecake Filling
- 250g Philadelphia Brick Cream Cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup of sugar
- 1-1/3 cups of raspberry juice
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
Freeze for 4 hours or until firm. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes to soften before serving. Enjoy :)

Ever since the engagement party, I have had a perverted obsession with cupcakes. I think about them at least twice a day. There are just so many different flavours, you could find a suitable one for any time of day, breakfast, lunch & dinner..
But what I'm really interested in are cupcakes for the wedding! They are becoming rather cliché' but seriously, how amazing are these!
