Cheeseless Cheesecake Recipe
This cake has no cheese and no fat. The flavor of cheesecake comes from a boiled lemon, and the texture comes from a can of chickpeas. A great diet recipe, full of fibre and protein. Some sugar, but you can try cutting down or using Stevia. I always use the full sugar
As a note, ever since I saw Mario Batelli boil and orange to put into an orange cake on The Food Network, I have been boiling all my citrus fruits before using them in baking. Thanks Mario
Boil a lemon for 1/2 hour. Cool, Cut off Ends and remove seeds. You will use the whole lemon, including the rind and juice, so save it all.
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
In a blender or food processor
The boiled lemon, (whole thing less the hard ends and seeds)
1 can chickpeas (540 ml, 19oz), drained
4 whole eggs
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder
Cream until smooth
Bake at 350 for 50 minutes

Nut Cake (Fourless) Recipe
Another super healthy dessert, full of almonds and eggs. If you substitute 1 1/2 cups of walnuts, you also have a dessert that is hight in omega-3 fatty acids.
** You need more walnuts than almonds because of the higher fat and lower fibre.
1 cup whole almonds or hazelnuts
4 eggs
3/4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
You need a blender for this one.
Put 4 eggs in a blender. Add the whole nuts and turn blender to grind. Remove the whole mess from the blender and add the sugar and baking powder. Bake 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes.
This may smell "eggy" while baking, but no matter. The smell doesn't linger, and the cake comes out moist and wonderful.
