This tart is an elegant and distinctive recipe that brings the flavors of the Eastern Mediterranean to your table. Labneh, a strained yogurt cheese, adds a creamy texture and a touch of tanginess that pairs beautifully with the crunch of nuts. Unlike traditional cheesecakes, this version is lighter and easier to digest. By using stevia, we eliminate refined sugar without losing sweetness, and thanks to Cream of Tartar, we achieve a perfect structure. It is a nutrient-dense dessert, rich in probiotics and heart-healthy fats.

Professional Step-by-Step Preparation
-
Crunchy base: Crush the whole-grain cookies and mix them with the melted butter and a pinch of cinnamon. Cover the bottom of a springform pan, pressing down well to create a compact base. Set aside in the fridge.
-
Cream preparation: In a large bowl, beat the labneh together with the Stevia + Eritrytol 1:1 de Castelló until smooth.
-
Technical stabilization: Add the Cream of Tartar and lemon zest to the labneh cream. Mix gently to ensure a firm, airy texture.
