BErry Cheesecake dessert

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 8 oz. cream cheese
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tsp gelatin
  • 1 tsp lemon juice concentrate or fresh lemon juice
  • 2 quarts or more of strawberries and/or other berries
Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a 9" x 13" pan (I used a glass pan) with butter or coconut oil.  
  2. Make the crust. Combine almond flour, sea salt, 1 cup sugar in a bowl.  Add the melted butter and mix well.  Press into pan.  Bake for 15 minutes and then let cool.
  3. For the cream cheese layer, whip the whipping cream in a mixing bowl until it's thick and fluffy.  Set aside.  In a different bowl, beat the cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar,  and vanilla together.  After it's well-blended, gently fold in the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.  Spread on the cooled crust.
  4. To make the berry layer, add  water, about 1/2 cup strawberries, gelatin,  lemon juice, and a few shakes of sugar  to the blender.  Blend until well mixed. It should be very thick
  5. Transfer the berry mixture to a bowl.  Slice up the remaining strawberries and add to the blended strawberry mixture.  Stir this well, and then spread on top of the cream cheese layer.  Chill.

Won't you take me down.. in strawberry fields

We went to pick strawberries, but of course the boys were more interested in other activities. The stains on Joel's shirt are crushed strawberries. Practicing for old age outside the farm store:
