How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and select a deep loose bottom cake tin – about 6 inches wide. Add the ground almonds, 1/3 cup walnuts, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, salt, coconut oil, butter, and 1/4 cup erythritol to a food processor. Pulse to combine, forming a chunky crumb. You may adjust the level of spices and sweetness to personal taste.
Step 2
Grate the carrot and add to the food processor along with the orange zest. You only need about a tablespoon of carrot. Pulse together briefly to combine.
Step 3
Spoon the crumb mixture into the base of the cake tin. Press the mixture down firmly and evenly to create your cheesecake base layer. Transfer to the oven and bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Once baked, set aside to cool completely.
Step 4
While the base is cooling, you can prepare the filling. Add the remaining erythritol to a bowl with the cream cheese, vanilla, and orange juice. Beat together until smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Add the heavy cream to the bowl with the cream cheese mixture. Whip the cream and cheese together until well combined. The mixture should be thick and creamy.
Step 6
Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the cooled biscuit base. Transfer to the fridge for a minimum of 6 hours to firm and set. Ideally, leave overnight.
Step 7
Once the cheesecake is set, you can carefully remove it from the tin. Arrange the remaining walnut halves around the edge of the cheesecake. Serve chilled.
