I really enjoy cheesecake, I recently tried a Cherry Ripe Cheesecake at my local cafe, I couldn’t help myself and had to have a serve with a coffee while catching up with a friend. Wish I didn’t try it cause it was so good and probably really bad at the same time. Then I saw this Thermomix Raw Strawberry Cheesecake recipe in the new Thermomix Vegetarian cookbook, could be a healthier homemade alternative, a good source of fibre and iron as well as providing other nutrients and mineral such as magnesium. It’s filled with so many nuts and berries… noms!!

Oh my goodness – this looks AMAZING!! I must try it! I’m vegetarian and I have the old Thermie veggie cookbook, but this one looks incredible on a whole new level.
Katrina, it was so lovely meeting you at ProBlogger – one of my absolute highlights of the whole event. You were so warm and friendly and I loved having the chance to chat about blogging with you. So glad we met! P.S. Gorgeous headshot, girl!! So stunning!

It was a delight to meet you too Karen. You have to try this cheesecake, it looks so good, and filled with just as much good stuff too!
Looks really tasty Kat. Excuse my ignorance but what is a ‘recepie chip’ please?
The newer version of the Thermomix are a digital version of their cookbooks filled with recipes and step by step guided instructions, direct on the thermomix screen.
Hi Katrina, what a beautiful recipe, certainly going to give this a go. I am not that adventurous with desserts, sticky date being about as creative as I get.
When you say Lemon Flesh do you mean the juice and the inside part of the lemon?
The skin of the lemon is the zest, assuming the inside refers to the flesh. Sorry for my ignorance, such a newbie at sweets.
