Chocolate Stuffed Cheesecake Balls
Intro
These delicious and refreshing Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Pots are the perfect summer treat. They're made with a simple base of ground almonds, mixed nuts, melted coconut oil, Natvia natural sweetener, chia seeds, and lemon zest. The filling is made with soft cheese, Natvia natural sweetener, and lemon juice. The top is then sprinkled with the remaining base mixture, fresh blueberries, and dried rose petals.
Ingredients
For the base:
- 70g ground almonds
- 70g mixed nuts
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Natvia natural sweetener
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Zest of 1 lemon
For the filling:
- 300g soft cheese (can be dairy-free)
- 3 tablespoons Natvia natural sweetener
- Dash of lemon juice
For the topping:
- Fresh blueberries
- Dried rose petals
Method
- Place the ingredients for the base in a food processor and blitz until well combined.
- Divide the mixture between 6 ramekin dishes, pressing it down to form a base.
- In a bowl, beat together the soft cheese, Natvia natural sweetener, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Spoon the filling over the base of the ramekin dishes.
- Sprinkle over the remaining base mixture, blueberries, and dried rose petals.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat soft cheese.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the nuts and then mix them with the other ingredients for the base.
- If you don't have dried rose petals, you can use any other edible flowers or simply omit them altogether.
- To serve, you can top the cheesecake pots with a dollop of whipped cream or yogurt.
Variations:
- For a chocolate version, add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder to the base mixture.
- For a raspberry version, use raspberries instead of blueberries.
- For a coffee version, add 1 teaspoon of instant coffee powder to the base mixture.

Spicy Sweet and Sour Fried Eggs
Eggs for dinner is always a good idea, and this version makes a strong case for why. A crispy pan-fried egg sitting in a glossy, garlicky sweet and sour sauce with just enough chili oil heat to keep things interesting. The sauce comes together in the same pan and thickens beautifully around the eggs as it simmers. Ten minutes, one pan, genuinely satisfying over a bowl of hot rice.

These Lemon Brulees are the kind of dessert that looks far more involved than it actually is. The cream sets inside scooped-out lemon halves, and just before serving a thin layer of Natvia Natural Sweetener goes under the blowtorch until it turns golden and glassy. That satisfying crack, a clean hit of lemon, a smooth creamy centre underneath. Make them the day before and torch just before you bring them out.

These cookies are not what you expect, and that is exactly what makes them so good. Jelena Fairweather has taken miso, tahini and sesame and turned them into one of the most interesting recipes we have published. They are sweetened with Natvia Gut Activation Sweetener (AU) / Natvia Synbiotic Sweetener (UK), made with oat flour, and have a naturally crisp edge with a soft, chewy centre. The miso swirl running through each one gives a subtle savoury depth that balances the sweetness in a way that is genuinely hard to stop eating. The sesame coating adds texture and a nutty finish, and the optional sugar-free chocolate chunks make them feel a little more indulgent. Dairy-free, gluten-free and ready in under 30 minutes.
