RECIPE REQUEST

Hi Noelene,

Just wondering if I could get the recipe for the Gluten Free/ Fruit Free mud cake you gave me last night please. I have a friend who is gluten and fruit free and I think she will love this especially as it doesn't have sugar in it.
 Also could I get the recipe for the "Vegie" dish you had in the fry pan on your stove. That looked and smelt amazing.
Take care and hope Nicole is on the improve, xxx

CHOCOLATE MUD CHEESECAKE
Preheat your oven to 180 deg C.
Prepare a 9"'spring form pan with cooking spray and baking paper .
In a medium bowl whisk together 1&1/4 cup of almond meal , 1/4 cup of  cacoa powder ( I used 80% pure ), 1/4 cup of powdered stevia ,3 tbs of melted butter .
Mix together until well combined .
Now press this mixture into the base of a spring form pan .
Bake for 10 minutes and remove .
Reduce oven temp to 160 deg C.

It is now time to prepare the filling .......
In a large bowl , beat 750gm of cream cheese ( softened ) until smooth .
Then add 3/4 cup of powdered stevia , 1 tsp of vanilla extract ,and 3 eggs lightly beaten  and at room temp  ( one at a time ),
Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Now beat in 1/4 cup of cacoa  ( I used 80% pure )
Add 1/3 cup of heavy cream ( room temp )
In the microwave melt 220gm of dark chocolate ( I used 80% Lindt dark chocolate ) with 1 tbs of butter .
Set aside to cool .
Add the melted chocolate mixture and mix until completely smooth .
Pour the filling into the prepared pan
Even out over the base , taking care not to disturb the base .
Bake for 55 minutes until set , but still a little wobbly .
Remove from oven and let cool in the pan .
Once cooled let it sit in the refrigerator covered with cling wrap for 3 hours or overnight .
Release the sides of the  pan and remove the cake to a plate to finish the topping .
I beat together 600ml of cream with a tub of mascarpone cheese  (250gm )
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1tbs of powdered stevia
1 dsp of cacoa .
Beat till very stiff
Spread thickly over the cake
Top as you like . I used fresh raspberries .

THE VEGIE DISH ......
It was  my curry , cashew and coconut vegetable dish .
Spray a medium sized pan with coconut oil spray and heat over a low heat .
Add 4 sliced garlic cloves
2 red onions peeled and sliced
Heat till soft and translucent

In a bowl add 3 tbs of turmeric powder
1 red chilli sliced  ( optional )
150 gm of fresh baby beans
1 red and green capsicum deseeded and sliced
1 cup of unsalted cashews
1 cup of sliced mushrooms
2 stalks of  celery peeled and thinly sliced
Salt and cracked black pepper to taste
1 tbs of coriander or fresh mint finely chopped
Mix well to combine .

Add 1&1/2 cups of coconut milk to the pan with the onion and garlic .
Followed by the vegies
Stir to combine over a medium heat .
Allow to heat through  and the sauce to thicken .
This can be served as a starter or as a main with lamb chops or steamed fish .
Enjoy .
