What's So Special About My Raspberry Topping for Cheesecake?
I have a secret super food ingredient in my yogurt raspberry topping that will surprise you. So, what is the special ingredient?
It's Goji berries ground up into a powder. Yummy, and brings out that pretty pink color. My Goji berry powder, an adaptogen, is the perfect addition to other recipes. Try adding it to oatmeal or even smoothie recipes.
Raspberry Health Benefits
I have talked about the amazing health benefits of raspberries before. But, it's worth stating that this tasty little berry packs a huge punch in the nutrition department.
Fiber is one of the huge health benefits. One cup of raspberries has 8 grams of fiber, is low in calories, brimming full of vitamin C, and also anti-inflammatory for the body.

HEALTHY DESSERT RECIPE TIPS
To make the Goji Pink Dust:
Simply grind up dried Goji berries in your food processor or blender until a fine dust is made. This is my secret ingredient that I add to many of my recipes, like oatmeal, smoothies, cookies, etc.
If you want a deeper vibrant pink color to the yogurt topping, use 2 teaspoons of the Goji berry powder, but if you want a lighter baby pink color, use less. I always start with less and add more until I reach my desired color.
It's best to thaw the cheesecakes for about thirty minutes to one hour to ensure the texture is firm creamy, instead of a frozen bar texture. This makes it much easier to cut into.
STORAGE TIPS
How long does this raspberry cheesecake last? It's always best to store these cheesecakes in the freezer for up to two months. Thaw for about 30 minutes to one hour before serving.
I don't advise storing in the refrigerator, or it will fall apart and melt into a mushy disaster.
