Health and fertility benefits of No-Bake Cheesecakes with Raspberry Sauce

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity. Walnuts are low on the glycemic index. What’s more, they also lower the glycemic index of other foods that you eat in conjunction with these nuts. Any kind of nuts provide a healthy source of fat and a great way to encourage PCOS weight loss.

Ingredients

1 c. graham crumbs
.67 c. finely chopped walnuts
1/3 c. pure maple syrup
1 tsp. ground ginger
6 oz. cream cheese
.67 c. reduced fat ricotta cheese
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tbsp. natural cane sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together graham crumbs, walnuts, maple syrup, and, if using, ginger until everything is moist. Add a small amount of additional maple syrup if needed.
In a separate bowl, mix together cream cheese, ricotta cheese, lemon juice, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Divide crumb mixture among 12 medium-sized paper lined muffin cups and press down flat. Divide cheese mixture among the muffin cups and use a butter knife to smooth the tops. Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator to chill overnight.
To make the sauce, combine raspberries, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan and let simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, or until raspberries have broken down. Dissolve cornstarch in 1 tablespoon water, add to sauce, and heat 1 minute. Let cool before serving over cheesecakes.
