Instructions
Step 1
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 2
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Step 3
Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, and honey (or maple syrup). Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan, creating an even layer. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool while you prepare the filling.
Step 4
Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar, continuing to mix until well combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Divide and Flavor the Batter: Divide the cheesecake batter evenly into two bowls. In one bowl, add the pitaya puree and lemon juice, mixing until fully combined. In the other bowl, add the black goji berry powder (or chopped rehydrated berries) and cornstarch, stirring until smooth.
Step 6
Create the Swirl Effect: Pour half of the pitaya batter into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly. Add half of the black goji berry batter on top. Repeat with the remaining batters. Using a knife, gently swirl the two batters together to create a marbled effect.
Step 7
Bake the Cheesecake: Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the center is almost set. Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracks.
Step 8
Chill and Decorate: After cooling, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Before serving, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and top with fresh pitaya slices, a sprinkle of black goji berry powder, and edible flowers for an extra touch of elegance.
