Skip the oven and whip up this recipe for the easiest, creamiest no-bake cheesecake topped with pomegranate seeds.
This recipe includes superfoods such as:
Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.
2 sleeves (18 sheets) graham crackers
11 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 (8-oz.) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/3 cup pomegranate seeds, for garnish
Place the graham crackers in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground. (Alternately, crush the graham crackers in a sealed plastic bag.) Transfer the graham cracker crumbs into a medium bowl and stir in the melted butter and sugar until the mixture is well combined.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides (about 1 1/2 inches) of a 9-inch springform pan. (You can use the side and bottom of a dry measuring cup to help press the crumbs into the pan.) Cover the crust with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 20 minutes.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese until smooth and then stream in the sweetened condensed milk. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Pour the filling into the chilled graham cracker crust, cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or until firm. (See Kelly's Notes.)
When ready to serve, remove the cheesecake from the fridge and unclasp the spring on the springform pan to remove the outer ring. Top the cheesecake with the pomegranate seeds then slice and serve.
Kelly's Notes: This cheesecake has a softer, pudding-like consistency. Because there is no gelatin in the mixture, the cheesecake will never fully harden past the pudding stage.
