CHEESECAKE OF RED FRUITS

The tradition of gathering for the Christmas dinner exists in most parts of the world. In Brazil, for example, dinner on the 24th of December can be synonymous with a get-together between family and friends or even an occasion to taste the main foods of this time of year, with options for all palates.

Habits vary according to the culture of each family, but there are some traditional Christmas dishes that cannot be missing from dinner.

Most Christmas flavors are the heritage of European customs. However, as the party became popular in Brazil, the supper that celebrates the birth of Jesus took on a very Tupiniquin atmosphere.

The most traditional dishes are turkey, cod, Christmas farofa (which can be fried in butter with dried fruit, walnuts and almonds, for example), Christmas rice (which is usually prepared with raisins), roast suckling pig , chicken or turkey sausage, lots of fruit, panettone, french toast and Christmas cookies.

But this RED FRUIT CHEESECAKE is an excellent option for Christmas, check it out:

BASE – ingredients:

• 1 cup pitted dates (those who want can substitute the paraibuna banana)
• 1 cup lightly toasted almonds

Process the almonds, add the dates and process again.

Open this dough in a removable background shape (I used 20 cm, put a plastic one before to make it easier to unmold).

Reserve.

CREAM – ingredients:

• 200g lacfree natural yogurt @verdecampo
• 200g ricotta cream or cream cheese
• 2 tbsp of sugar/sweetener of your choice (I use @chocolifealimentosfuncionais softsugar)
• 1 tbsp unflavored gelatin
• 40 ml of hot water (to hydrate the gelatine)
• 1 pinch of salt

Preparation mode:

Dissolve gelatin in hot water and mix with all other ingredients.

Put it over the dough and take it to the fridge for 3 hours.

RED FRUIT SYRUP

Ingredients:

• 100g of strawberries
• 100g of blackberries
• 100g of cherries
• 100g blueberries
• ¼ cup sugar/sweetener of your choice (softsugar again 😁)
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• ½ tbsp corn starch
• 1/4 of a cup of water

Preparation mode:

Divide the fruits into 3 parts: one to beat, one to chop and one to decorate. Beat the part to beat along with all the other ingredients. Place in a pan, along with the chopped part, and lead to low heat to thicken. Allow to cool and place over the cream, after unmolding, and garnish with the rest of the fruit.
