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
