This Cheesecake Tart is perfect. Kind’ve healthy and almost no bake. I have a huge sweet tooth and crave something sweet or dessert like after dinner SO to feel less guilty I made this recipe. And almost completely no bake – you have to turn the oven on for 8 minutes to bake the crust, but thats it! No bake desserts seem easier in general. The oven doesn’t need to get involved (perfect for summer) and there are a few less steps than that traditional baked dessert.
I had a ton of strawberries that I needed to use up and made strawberry jam a few days in advance of putting this beauty together.
To be honest, I was actually going to make another recipe and then decided to add a few things and voila! Turned out with this layered strawberry jam cheesecake tart.
The crust has toasted quinoa in it too which adds extra texture and crunch because I’m all about #teamtexture.
Funny story why I decided to add quinoa to the crust is inspiration from my recent travels to Peru which I learned is like the quinoa capitol of the world!
My fiance and I were sharing our Peru stories with the family on 4th of July and none of them had ever seen or eaten quinoa…. MIND BLOWN! I forget that just because I basically live in the grocery store and my kitchen, other people (like my family) don’t know all the awesome variety of ingredients out there! So I definitely thought of them as I was mixing the quinoa into the dough. Next family gathering I’m bringing this as an “educational experience” LOL
