The day I found out that it was possible to make paleo “cheese”cake, was a happy day 
SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE!
Past couple of weeks have been exhilarating, so many things going on that its sometimes hard at night to wind down and actually go to sleep! I already told you that I wrote a Dutch e(cook)book, that’s due end of this month (whooooaaaa). Great news is that the publisher (Foodie) already signed me up for at least two more books! How awesome is that!! I think this calls for champagne and a celebratory recipe 
SEX WITH YOUR PANTS ON
I like to spoil myself once in a while with a Sex With Your Pants On treat. That way I don’t have to feel deprived while maintaining a healthy diet! This Paleo Kiwi Lemon Cheesecake is a perfect example: it’s is raw, vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free and lactose-free. Oh and it is deeeeelicious!
One of my biggest battles (until today) is overcoming my sweet tooth. I can have severe sugar and carb cravings. And when I do, better brace yourself. Nobody must stand in between me and my (mostly chocolately) sweet! Haha. Of course, eating clean and healthy does not involve sugar, at least not the processed one (although dark chocolate is allowed, yay!). So a cheesecake like this is perfect when you want to make something sweet for a special occasion and you don’t tolerate gluten, dairy or processed sugar.

No need to waste any more words on it. Pin it, share it, and then make this light, summery and healthy paleo kiwi lemon cheesecake!
