RE: STEEMIT CULINARY CHALLENGE #48: Blueberry Cheesecake Lentil Squares

in #food7 years ago

Impressive use of lentils (and beautifully crafted post). I would be looking to see how the sweetened condensed milk and cream cheese might be substitutes for coconut milk and cashew creme (maybe or something.. for sugar-free/dairy free). Still, you've got me thinking... AND it's just as fun as Dr Joel Fuhrman's unsalted black bean chocolate mousse (a recipe in the back of his brilliant book, 'Fast Food Genocide'), I will post here. By the way, I found I loved the mouth-feel and the taste of this dessert and I didn't even have a ripe banana to add, so I've made it so far without banana, without the flax seeds and without the cinnamon (oh, and I didn't actually have any almond or hemp milk, so I just threw hemp seeds in water and let them stand for 20 minutes (used Vitamix):
