Wimbledon and strawberries go hand-in-hand. I for one cannot live without strawberries during summer let alone the tennis tournament. Now that we are in the last week of Wimbledon we are planning an afternoon tea party at work with bunting galore.

A traditional British afternoon tea party usually consists of finger sandwiches, scones, and an array of cakes, but why not change things? I decided to get my thinking cap on and come up with something different which still sticks to the strawberry theme.

With the lovely weather that we have been blessed with in the UK recently I thought a frozen dessert would be perfect. I’m a big fan of cheesecake and admittedly they are not the healthiest of desserts. Instead I’ve created a healthier option with almond and date crust and low fat filling.

Ingredients (makes 4 cheesecakes)
For the base:
1 cup of soaked almonds (soaked overnight)
7 pitted dates
For the cheesecake layer:
1/2 cup quark
1/3 cup of melted coconut oil
2 cups diced strawberries
1/2 cup runny honey
Zest and rind of 1 lemon
In a food processor combine the dates and soaked almonds until a crumbly texture forms. Add a few drops of water if your processor is struggling. Take roughly 1 1/2 tbsps. of the mixture and place in 4 tartlet cases, using the back of the spoons to press the mixture into the tin. Bake sure that the surface of the base is smooth and that there are no air pockets, it needs to be tightly packed.
Place the tartlets in the freezer whilst you prepare the cheesecake filling.
Take the food processor again and add the quark, coconut oil, strawberries lemon juice, zest and honey and mix until smooth. Take the almond bases from the freezer. Evenly distribute across the 4 tartlet tins, filling them to the top. Return them to the freezer and allow them to set for at least 5 hours, overnight if possible.

Food porn at it’s best!
These honestly do taste as fabulous as they look. The recipe for the filling does make a little bit extra, but you can freeze it to make ice cream or cheesecake ice lollies, yum!
I’m really looking forward to the Wimbledon finals, it really has been a great tournament this year. I think we might get a few friends over and have a BBQ if the weather is nice and catch some of the tennis too. You can even make your viewing of the tournament more fun by playing a little Wimbledon bingo.
Will you be watching the Wimbledon finals?
Who have you been supporting throughout this years tournament?

This looks seriously yummy, can’t wait to try. Just a thought to improve and make things easier for readers, but it would be helpful to put a link in your blog to a printable version of the recipe? I’m not sure how easy/difficult that would be, so ignore me if it is a major IT feat! Anyway, I really enjoy reading your blog, so thanks! A
I do want to do some updated to the blog, so will write that on my to do list if I manage to figure it out 🙂
These look perfect. I haven’t made cheesecake in ages.
I will definitely be watching the Wimbledon final 🙂
Thanks! I hope you enjoy the tennis 🙂
I love crusts made from almonds and dates, and the strawberry filling sounds fantastic. I’ve never really been into tennis so I won’t be watching the finals, but I wouldn’t mind whipping up an awesome dessert.
It’s such a great alternative to a typical biscuit base. You can use it for so many things.
Ahhhh, this sounds amazing!! I haven’t baked/made pudding in so long…this really sounds so delicious. Love the base! And I love that it makes extra for ice lollies hehe.
There is no baking involved in these, so easy to make!
That looks lovely- I love that base for loads of options, but I bet it tastes fab with the strawberries.
It’s a great base isn’t it, so versatile.
That looks great! I am so looking forward to the wimbledon finals weekend. I am a huge lisicki fan, so can’t wait for the womens final tomorrrow. I’m gutted that Rafa went out early but I like Andy, Novak and Juan Martin Del Potro so would be happy for any of them to take the title!
These look seriously delish! The boyf has just bought some tartlet tins (admittedly to make unhealthy things) but definitely considering stealing them to whip these up. Quark is a funny one – always see it in the supermarket but never have any ideas as to how to use it but this is a great one! Will be interested to see how the date/almond crust works out too 🙂 This may be a silly question but do the almonds have to be skinned or leave the skins on?
Hahaha! Quark is great as a low fat alternative it’s nice with fruits and honey too.
I tried quark once, cos it sounds fab, but bleurgh – what a horrible after-taste! Maybe it’s changed since then?
Oh I love it and you can’t taste it in this at all.
They look and sound amazing!
Thanks 🙂
I know I’m late to this, but damn, this looks amazing. And you’re right, the tennis finals were great this year! 🙂
