Ingredients
Scale
Top/Bottom Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups (6 oz/170 g) almond meal
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 1/2 tablespoons clarified butter (ghee), melted
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup whole, raw walnuts (top only)
Cheese Filling:
- 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened slightly
- 1 large egg white
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
Other:
- 1 cup cherry pie filling (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F; line an 8 1/2 by 4 1/2-inch loaf pan with parchment paper so it hangs over all 4 sides.
- For the top/bottom crust, pulse together all ingredients except the walnuts in a food processor. Firmly press 2/3 of this into the prepared dish and bake until starting to turn light golden along the outside, about 12 minutes. Once par-baked, poke a few holes in the bottom. Pulse the walnuts into the remaining 1/3 of the crust mixture until they’re coarsely chopped.
- For the cheese filling, beat together all ingredients in a large bowl. Once the crust is par-baked, spread the cheese filling on top and bake 8 minutes.
- Spread the cherry filling on top of the par-baked cheesecake, and sprinkle on the remaining crust mixture. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate 2 hours.
- Serve, and store any leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
