Ahhhhh the best of both. First the comfort. Remember when custom made orthopedic shoes meant thick soles, round toes and black leather with ties on the side? Meet today's orthopedic shoes, custom Naot's. My feet are in heaven:
And the food. Old cheesecake: 460 calories, cream cheese and sour cream. New cheesecake:150 calories, low in fat and sugar. Amazing! As soon as I can taste food again I'm going to make my third in three weeks.
Li Can't Believe It's Cheesecake Recipe
2 lbs ricotta
1/4 C milk or half and half
2/3 C sugar (I use half splenda and half sugar)
1/3 C flour plus a bit more for dusting
2t almond extract
6 eggs (I use high omega eggs)
1. Preheat oven to 325. Line springform pan with baking paper.Grease the paper and dust with flour.
2. In a food processor with steel blade, whiz the ricotta until very smooth, scraping down the sides occasionally.
3. Add milk, sugar, flour and extract and process until combined.
4. Break eggs into a jug and while motor is running, pour slowly down feed tube. Whiz for 40 seconds until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides if needed.
5. Pour into pan and bake until set and golden in colour. It takes at least an hour and a half.
6. Top with fresh fruit or pie filling. May be served warm or cold.
Thanks for the USA conversion on the recipie. I'll be making this today! Those sandels wil be perfect for walking around DC in August!

Love, love, love Naots!
That cheese cake looks so good! When I get my range back, I'm going to try it. That picture of it is good enough for Southern Living!

I say the uglier the shoe the better...but I have a slightly cracked sense of fashion and style.

I have those shoes in ivory and they fit my very stylish orthodics. I'll trust your taste with the cheesecake, too.

I am so trying that recipe - thanks for sharing!

Oh, my goodness...treats for the feet and for dessert! Since I had my foot surgery last year, I have to be very careful about the shoes that I wear. I find myself with far fewer pairs, but more pricey, comfortable. I'd rather have one pair of $100 shoes than 4 pair of $25 shoes!
