Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Mixture
- 1/3 – 1/2 cup Farmer Cheese
- 2 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
Assembly
- 8 Biscoff cookies or other cinnamon-flavored cookies
- 1/3 – 1/2 cup sliced strawberries
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture: Add the Farmer Cheese, almond butter, and maple syrup into a food processor. Process until the ingredients are fully combined into a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Line the Container: Line a small rectangular container with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make removing the sandwiches easier.
- Arrange the Base Cookies: Place 4 cookies in the bottom of the container, arranging two side by side in the top row and two side by side underneath to create a 2×2 cookie base layer.
- Spread the Cheesecake Mixture: Evenly spread one-quarter of the cheesecake mixture over each cookie, about 2 tablespoons or 1/8 cup per cookie.
- Add Strawberries: Place one-quarter of the sliced strawberries evenly on top of each cheesecake-covered cookie, roughly 2 tablespoons or 1/8 cup per cookie.
- Top with Remaining Cookies: Carefully place the remaining 4 cookies on top of the strawberry layer, gently pressing down so the layers seal together.
- Freeze the Sandwiches: Place the container in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours or until the mixture is set and firm.
- Thaw and Serve: Remove the container from the freezer and let the sandwiches thaw at room temperature for about 10 minutes before enjoying. Slice if preferred and serve immediately.
Notes
- Almond butter can be substituted with any nut or seed butter to accommodate allergies or preferences.
- Use cinnamon-flavored cookies, such as Biscoff, for an authentic flavor contrast; other spiced cookies can be used.
- Sliced strawberries can be replaced with other fresh berries or fruits depending on seasonal availability.
- For easier slicing, chill the sandwiches well before thawing.
- This dessert can be stored in the freezer for up to one week for optimal freshness.
