Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the egg, vanilla, almond extract, melted coconut oil, and coconut sugar. Beat together until well mixed and the coconut sugar is semi-dissolved.
- Gradually fold in the almond flour, tapioca flour, and baking soda until the mixture is just combined.
- Gently stir in the festive sprinkles.
Baking the Crust
- Grease a 9-inch springform pan with a little oil and pour the dough into the pan, pressing it down tightly.
- Poke a few holes in the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling, then bake for 20 to 24 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
Making the Filling
- Melt the white chocolate in a skillet over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the coconut sugar and peppermint extract until creamy.
- Add the cooled white chocolate to the cream cheese mixture and blend until smooth.
Assembling and Setting
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth it out.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Serving
- Pipe whipped coconut cream around the edges, sprinkle with extra sprinkles, and place two candy canes in the center.
- Run a thin knife under warm water before cutting for clean slices.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened for best texture. Use seasonal themed sprinkles as desired. For a vegan option, use dairy-free cream cheese and coconut cream.
