Chocolate and blueberry cheesecake – grain free and sugar free SPECIAL EQUIPMENT Muslin cloth for dripping yoghurt 9-inch spring form cake tin Yoghurt maker (optional) Hand held stick blender (optional) Food processor or blender (optional) Electric cake beaters (optional) Ingredients: BASE 1 cup almond meal 1 cup desiccated coconut 40 grams of butter or coconut oil 1/3 cup raw cacao or premium cocoa 1 tablespoon of honey CREAMY CHEESE LAYER 2 cups yoghurt (homemade or plain Greek) dripped to remove the whey. Find out how here 200 grams of pure cream ¼ cup water 1 ½ tablespoons of gelatin powder (red tub) 2 teaspoons of vanilla BLUEBERRY JELLY LAYER ½ cup blueberries for making the jelly 1 cup of blueberries for inside the jelly 1 ½ cups water 2 tablespoons of gelatin powder (orange tub) 1/8 teaspoon of powdered stevia or a few drops of liquid ½ tablespoon or more to taste of Honey Extra blueberries for decorating the cheesecake Method: BASE Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius. Grease the bottom of the spring form tin with either butter or coconut oil. Combine all the ingredients in a blender or food processor until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency. Press the dough into the greased cake tin with the tips of your fingers or the back of a spoon. Bake for only 5 minutes. The base is best barely cooked! Note: It may rise in the oven but it will flatten again once it cools. Allow to cool completely before adding the creamy cheese layer. CREAMY CHEESE LAYER Drip the yoghurt in a muslin cloth for 1 – 2 hours. This can be done the day before or before you begin the base. Place the dripped yoghurt, cream cheese in a large mixing bowl and set aside. In a small saucepan mix together the water and gelatin powder until it forms a thick paste. Place on a low heat and stir until the paste liquefies. Do not boil. Remove from the heat and add the honey and vanilla. Slowly whisk in the cream. Note: the chilled cream will immediately begin to set the gelatin. If the mixture is beginning to set too quickly, briefly return to a low heat to ensure the cream and gelatin is thoroughly combined. Do not overheat or boil. Allow the cream mixture to cool to below 40 degrees Celsius before adding mixture into the dripped yoghurt.Note: Yoghurt has live bacteria in it that is heat sensitive. When it has cooled sufficiently, quickly mix the cream mixture into the dripped yoghurt. I use electric beaters for this but it could be done by hand. The chilled dripped yoghurt will begin to set the gelatin so it is best to work fast! Spread the creamy yoghurt mixture onto the base. It sets quickly. Use a knife to even and smooth the top. Wipe the sides of the cake tin with a damp clean cloth. Sprinkle 1 cup of thawed berries onto the creamy yoghurt layer. BLUEBERRY JELLY LAYER In a small saucepan simmer the blueberries in water for approximately 10 minutes. Remove from heat and blend fruit and water with a hand stick blender Add stevia and honey. Add additional honey if you like. Do not add more stevia or else a bitter taste may result. Add gelatin powder and stir. Return to a low heat and continue to stir until gelatin powder is completely dissolved. Do not boil. Allow blueberry mixture to cool down but not begin to set. (under 40 degrees Celsius is best) Gently pour the blueberry gelatin mixture over the back of a spoon and onto the creamy cheese layer. Place in the fridge to set. Serve with extra blueberries and a dollop of cream.

This perfectly balanced 'traditional' Banana Bread is incredibly moist light and packed full of good fats, protein and incredible flavour. Prep time: 15 minutesCook time: 55 minutesMakes: 12 large servings You’ll need: 3 cups of organic wheat or spelt flour (we’ve also tested it with buckwheat flour and it was just as great) 1 tspn baking powder 1 tspn bicarb soda 1 tspn organic maca powder 1 tspn nutmeg 1 tspn cinnamon 3/4 cup of raw organic sugar or coconut sugar 5 medium overripe bananas 6 tbsp Peptipro Collagen 3 organic eggs 1/2 cup of room temperature grass fed ghee 1/2 cup of chunky chopped walnuts + extra for garnish (optional) 3/4 cup of your milk of choice 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar 1 tspn vanilla extract 1 teaspoon of salt Method: Preheat your oven to 170 degrees Celsius. Line a 20cm x 25cm baking tray with baking paper. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, bicarb soda, maca powder, nutmeg and cinnamon. Add salt & sugar into the dry flour mixture. In a medium bowl, mash together 4 of the bananas. Gently whisk in the eggs, ghee and vanilla, and set aside. In a separate bowl, combine 3/4 cup of milk with 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar, and set aside. Add the egg & banana mixture into the flour mixture. Add walnuts and gently fold the mixture until half combined. Add in the soured milk mixture and continue to fold the mixture gently until completely combined. Take care not to overmix the mixture, as overmixing will result in a more dense banana bread. Transfer the mixture into the baking tray and level the batter. Slice your remaining banana into four thin and even slices & gently place on top of your banana bread as a garnish. Sprinkle with a some chopped walnuts. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Once cooked, remove from oven, transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes. Serve with salted butter and your favourite cup of tea. NOTE: This banana bread will keep for up to three days at room temperature when stored in an airtight container or up to 7 days in the fridge.

Learn moreChewy Collagen and Chocolate Chip Cookies (GF)
The best part about these collagen & choc chip gluten-free cookies? They're guaranteed to turn out perfect every time, even if you overmix the dough! These cookies are delightfully soft and chewy. We used dark chocolate, chopped chunky for a little extra chocolate ooze. Prep time: 10 minutesCook time: 15 minutesMakes: 16 cookies You'll need: 1/3 cup butter or ghee softened at room temperature 1/2 cup coconut sugar 4 tbsps Peptipro collagen 2 tbspn organic molasses or maple syrup 1 egg 1 tspn vanilla extract 1 3/4 cup buckwheat flour 1/2 tspn baking soda 1/2 tspn salt 1/2 cup of dark chocolate, chopped chunky Instructions: 1. Preheat your oven to 170 degrees Celsius. 2. Sift together buckwheat flour & baking soda, and set aside. 3. Cream together butter or ghee, coconut sugar, Peptipro and salt. 4. Add molasses or maple syrup, an egg, vanilla extract & whisk on medium speed until completely combined. 5. Fold in half of the buckwheat flour mixture. Add chocolate chips & the remainder of the flour and fold until the mixture comes together. 6. Allow the cookie dough to rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Note: The longer you allow the dough to rest the most complex and toffee-like the flavour will be. 7. Use a scoop or spoon to portion the mixture. Gently roll the dough into a ball & place on a tray lined with baking paper. Ensure that the cookies are well spaced out, leaving approximately 8-10cm of space between them. 8. Use two of your fingers to flatten down the cookie. 9. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden. Transfer the cookies from the oven onto a cooling rack and allow to slightly cool. Sprinkle with sea-salt flakes and serve. Note: Take the cookies out at 12minutes just as they begin to brown on top if you prefer a more gooey and soft cookie. The cookies can be kept stored in an airtight container up to 5 days, although we highly doubt that they'll be around for longer than a few hours.
