Ingredients

Servings

FOR THE ROASTED RHUBARB:

  • 700 grams/1.5 lb rhubarb
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • lemon juice of half
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • salt a pinch

FOR THE SKILLET GRANOLA:

  • 90 grams or 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 3 tablespoons almonds sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • salt a pinch

FOR THE CHEESECAKE FILLING:

  • 500 grams/1 lb cottage cheese soft
  • 250 grams/1 lb yogurt plain, Greek
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

ROAST THE RHUBARB:

  1. Preheat the oven to 220 °C or 430 ° F. Trim the ends and cut the rhubarb into finger-sized pieces. Cut vanilla pod lengthwise and scrap the seeds with a teaspoon. Add both seeds and pod to rhubarb pieces together with cardamom, lemon juice, honey and a pinch of salt. Transfer to a baking dish and bake for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you like it more mushy, increase the baking time for up to 5 more minutes.

MAKE THE SKILLET GRANOLA:

  1. Combine all the ingredients for skillet granola (see the notes above for substitutions). Cook in a skillet over medium for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until golden brown. Let cool.

MAKE THE CHEESECAKE FILLING:

  1. Whip cottage cheese with Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until smooth.

ASSEMBLE THE CHEESECAKE JARS:

  1. Fill your jars (or individual glasses) with 2-3 tablespoons granola, 3-4 tablespoons of cheesecake filling and top it all with roasted rhubarb. Add a bit of honey if it's not sweet enough for you. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use strawberries or cherries for this recipe, but I really encourage you to try rhubarb - it adds a little tartness and a nice texture to the cheesecake.
