Best version yet of this cheesecake (pumpkin is a close runner up IMO)! The creamy texture compliments the sweet and slightly tart compote perfectly. I felt like this was such a fitting recipe to celebrate 100k in my @2explorewellness instagram Community because the original cheesecake has been one of the most popular recipes I’ve shared. Whether you’ve tried the original or not, I hope you give this one a try, because you really can’t beat a cheesecake with these insane macros!

•Let simmer, mixing frequently and mashing
•Once strawberries and rhubarb have gotten soft (about 10-12 minutes) and a sauce has formed, remove from heat and let cool
•Blend all cheesecake ingredients until smooth.
•Pour into a 9” breakaway cake pan lined with parchment paper.
•Bake for about 30-35 minutes, depending on your oven. It should only jiggle slightly when shaken.
