Recommended special equipment
Springform pan, 9" (23 cm)
A handheld or stand mixer
No-bake cheesecake
You can save time by not baking the crust. Simply pour the filling into the unbaked crust, and put it in the refrigerator straight away. The crust will not be as crunchy, but will have a consistency more like cookie dough.

They all look so delicious, thanks for stopping by my blog. I hope the holiday season is treating you well.
These are wonderful recipes. I only use almond flour now for little desserts I make for myself. It sure tastes good and I feel good when I eat it. I usually make cookies but the cakes would be nice to try. holiday hugs!

They all look rather too tempting, yum.

Thank you. The fruit cakes and the shortbread I have made DO not fall into the low carb category. My bad.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm.
My goodness a great trio of treats, yummy. They all look good.
It occurs to me I've never had clementine.
Oh my goodness these all sound delicious, but you had me at ginger cheesecake. Take care, Sue xx
Mouthwatering recipes!!!Best wishes and Happy Advent!
Hi Jan, Your recipes are tempting indeed. :-) I love the variety of ingredients. Compliments to you on the overall appearance of your blog … really nice and organized. Thank you for sharing. Hope all is well with you and yours. Take good care and have a good rest of the week. John
I like these ideas. In the US Christmas cakes aren't a big thing, but I would like to make one this year.
So yummy!
Looking good.
Not a good cake eater here.
Hello,
The cakes all look yummy. Thanks for sharing!
Take care, have a great day!
I love the clementine almond cake and I will copy it and try to make it some day. I don't bake at all because I have type 1 diabetes, but after finding this blog, now it looks like I can. Thank you, this is great.
Las recetas se ven muy bien. Besos.
Boa tarde Eddie!
Que deliciosas receitas!
Um grande abracinho!

Each one looks and sounds delicious 🎁🎄☕
These look so delicious
They all look good.
orange and gingerbread sounds great.
OMGoodness, Jan. That first cake is perfect. I love cheesecake and I love gingerbread. This sounds like something I would LOVE. I'm not a fan of fruitcake, but I actually think I might like this, because it doesn't have all that horrible citron in it. I'll pass on the last one. I've got enough sweetness in the first two!
For some reason the comment link in your newest post isn't opening...it was an excellent, informative post! Dealing with stress in a "normal" holiday season is trying for some.

Hello Anni
Many thanks for your comment, which I copied and pasted on the newer post.
I think it was a blogger glitch ...
All the best Jan
That clementine almond cake looks especially good to me. Methinks you and Eddie will be eating well this Christmas!
These all sound so good, Jan! I wish I could taste each one.
Bill loves fruitcake. Every year, our daughter and I would search, often in vain, for a fruitcake to get Bill for Christmas (this was when we were still in the US). Once Bill and I moved to Ireland, we saw fruitcake everywhere! I have never had it.
i never met a fruitcake i loved!!! the other cakes look awesome, clementine/orange cake, that's one i would like!!!
the combination in that cheesecake sounds interesting :)
This sounds tasty! :)

Ohhhhh...I love these all Jan! Thank you so much! Big Hugs!
