Without using any sugar or sweeteners, I must rely on blending food flavors to lend that dessert "sweetness" people so much like. Well, my cranberry-topped zucchini "cheesecake" is pretty good, especially since I prefer savory over sweet, which this is a unique conbination of.
Raw, completely sugar-free zucchini "cheesecake"
Crust:
1 cup washed walnuts
1/3 cup hemp seeds
4 tablespoons flaxseeds
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon coriander
pinch of sea salt
water as needed
Filling:
1 large skinned zucchini
1/2 cup sunflower seeds, soaked & drained
1/2 cup liquid coconut oil
pinch of sea salt
Topping:
1/2 cup frozen cranberries, chopped
All of the ingredients in the list above are naturally sweet, except the walnuts, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, and sea salt, oh, and the tart cranberries! I would have used the naturally sweet almond but didn't have any on hand, but this turned out pretty decent for no sugar or sweetener, and I'll certainly be making it again! Without the cranberries though, it just couldn't be called "dessert".

| The flax nuttiness of the crust and the cranberries really made this a nice combination :) |
