cheese cake the healthy way

Crust
1 cup of nuts of choice: pecans, macadamia nuts, cashews, almonds, finely chopped
1 tsp vanilla
6 Tbsp butter, melted

Finely chop nuts in a processor of choice. Mix together with butter and vanilla. If desired, add a few drops of stevia. Press in bottom of a 9” pie pan. Place in fridge.

Filling
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
½ cup plain fage yogurt
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp lemon juice
Stevia to taste (I used 8 drops)

Beat cream cheese for about one minute and add remaining ingredients. Beat just until blended and pour over crust. Chill in the refrigerator. Top with toppings of choice and add whip cream if desired.
