Raspberry Cheesecake

Ingredients:

- 2 tablespoons Zen Basil seeds

- 1/2 cup water

- 4 eggs

- 2 cups yogurt

- 1/4 cup almond flour

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 1 cup strawberries

- 1/4 cup monk fruit (or sweetener of your choice)

- Topping:

- 1 cup raspberries

- Honey or maple syrup for drizzling (optional)

- Mango slices for serving

Instructions:

1. In a cup, mix Zen Basil seeds and water. Set aside for a minute or so until fully hydrated.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs until well beaten. Then add the hydrated seeds, yogurt, vanilla extract, salt, and monk fruit. Mix until thoroughly combined.

3. Pour the mixture into a greased deep baking dish.

4. Sprinkle the strawberries over the mixture, folding them lightly into the top layer.

5. Evenly sprinkle the almond flour over the top surface of the mixture.

6. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 30 to 35 minutes. Check for doneness by ensuring the center is not liquid, but it's expected to be moist.

7. Once baked, let it cool before serving. Optionally, you can flip it over onto a plate for presentation.

8. For the topping, smash the raspberries with the back of a fork and drizzle with honey or maple syrup, if desired. Serve the dish with mango slices on the side.
