Cheesecake~Tummy Fail

Well hello there new friends!
I trust you are all well and behaving yourselves :)

Don't get me wrong...the PMS Cheesecake was phenomenal!! Hubby and the kids even loved it, I'm sure the dog would have loved it if we had shared, and he's a picky Paleo pup!

However...

The aftermath in my belly was NOT pretty!  I had pregnant food belly for 3 days after...and I felt awful. :(
was it worth it? you ask....NO! although the family ate it and loved it with no recourse. I eat some dairy so I didn't think this would be any different, I occasionally add heavy cream to my tea or coffee, I eat cheese a few times a week, mostly goat or cheddar, and on occasion I have been known to have a rather large dollop of sour cream with my avocado, salsa and meat, and NO tummy problems.

The family enjoyed the last of them as a Valentines Day treat....I stuck to my Lindt 90% chocolate bar and a bubble bath :)

Here is the recipe for those of you out there who are tolerant of dairy such as cream cheese. I used to LOVE cream cheese, but now know that my new Paleoterrific body will not accept it without a fight...

Chocolate Almond Butter Cheesecake

1 pkg softened at room temp. full fat cream cheese
3 Tblsp. full fat sour cream
2 Tblsp. raw honey
1 large egg
3 Tblsp. good quality baking cocoa
3 Tblsp. almond butter (smooth)

Beat all ingredients together until smooth. Then pour into lined muffin pans or mini muffin pans. Bake in a 325 degree oven for about 1/2 hour, or until tops begin to crack a little. Remove from oven, cool and then refrigerate until ready to serve. Add whipping cream, and shaved chocolate and/or berries

Enjoy! This recipe made 6 full regular sized muffins. I made individual portions but I am sure you could make one large cake, just adjust the baking time.

Be Well...
