Ingredients
Directions
Place beets in aluminum foil with 2 tablespoons of water, seal it well by pinching the edges together. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 1 hour in a 400 degree oven, or until fork tender. Peel beets and cut into wedges.
Dressing: Whisk together pomegranate syrup, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Toss with beets and crumble cheese over salad. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
I love this recipe for a special morning (I make my husband this on our anniversary). The perfect balance between the creamy smoothness of chocolate and the tart pop of fresh pomegranate seeds. Makes 10-12 pancakes
Tip: You can add a few chocolate chips on the pancakes after you pour the batter on the pan. I like the chocolate chips in the batter because the chips seem to get creamier and don’t get burnt.
I can’t get enough of the cream cheese and marshmallow mixture, so I thought, “How else could I use this awesome flavor mixture?” Well, why not for breakfast! Young and old will enjoy this sweet and creamy French Toast. Enjoy! Serves 4-6.
Tip: I like to soak the bread a little longer in the egg mixture so when it is cooked the bread gets to be a more “custardy” texture.
Easy, beautiful and refreshing is how I would describe this dessert. On a hot summer day, lemon flavored mascarpone tiered with crispy sweet pastry sheets and drizzled pomegranate syrup is a wonderful finish to any meal. Serves 6
This is a modern twist on a classic layered dessert. You'll find links to homemade options for the pudding, angel food cake and whipped cream. This is a great make a day ahead treat. Prepare the layers separately. Make sure you assemble the trifle right before serving!
Step One: Prepare the angel food cake. This cake can easily be purchased at your local bakery or grocery store. I made an angel food cake from scratch and it was magnificent! This recipe makes the cake slightly more dense than your normal angel food cake, which allowed it to hold together when the layers were poured on. Cut your cake into small 1inch squares. This will be your first layer for the trifle.
Step Two: Make the pudding. Here is a link to an amazing homemade pudding. Or you can buy the box and the store. Let the pudding set in the fridge while preparing the other layers.
Step Three: Either make or buy the whipped cream. I personally like homemade whipped cream and used this recipe. If buying the whipped cream, you will most want to buy the kind in a tub, not a can.
Step Four: The berries. I used raspberries and strawberries, but you can use any berry
you like. I soaked the raspberries in 2/3 cup of pomegranate syrup to make almost a
"preserve" layer. The strawberries were sliced to go on the sides of the dish.
Assembling The Trifle Layers Now for the fun part! If you have kids, this is a fun part to include them in.
1. Begin with the angel food cake. I used 12-15 pieces of cake each layer.
2. Next layer 1/3 of your pudding on the cake pieces. Add in the sliced strawberries around the sides.
3. Pour 1/2 of the berry mixture on top. If you are wanting clean-cut layers, I suggest draining the berries from the sauce. The sauce runs into the layers.
4. Get a thick layer of whipped cream on top. I used about 1/3 of my batch for this layer.
5. Now repeat! Angel food cake, pudding, strawberries, berry sauce, whipped cream.
6. This recipe makes 2-3 layers depending on your portions per layer. Enjoy!

Welcome to the home of the best cheesecake ever. I'm referring to your home of course! As soon as you make this, you'll be famous. I'm fairly certain this pomegranate cheesecake is what Rachel and Chandler ate off the floor in season 7 of Friends. It's that good.
By the way, if you didn't get that reference you can watch the episode while this beauty bakes. Just don't drop this one on the floor. It doesn't add to the flavor. Take my word for it.
Our friends over at Skylake Ranch make some amazing sauces from their pomegranate orchards. This recipe is lucky enough to be drizzled with their Pomegranate Syrup! Be sure to pick up a bottle at the farmer's market if you live locally or order through the link above. I absolutely adore finding you great deals and great food. This is both. The natural sweetness of pomegranates means they don't add very much sugar to their sauces, making them lower on the glycemic index. Plus you get the benefits of pomegranates! I'm talking vitamin c, folic acid, vitamin e, and punicalagin just to name a few.
Let's jump right into this mouth-watering treat.
First I made the crust. This is my gluten free graham cracker recipe. I made the dough for the graham crackers, then used about 1/3 of the dough and pressed it on my greased spring form cake pan. I baked the crust at 350° for 9 minutes.
While that baked I grabbed 2 glass bowls; one large and one medium.
In the medium bowl I poured 4 egg whites. Then I beat them with a hand mixer until they were like a thick foam. It took me about 3 minutes, so be patient.
In the large bowl I mixed the cream cheese with the egg yolks, coconut sugar, vanilla and tapioca flour.
Gently folding in the egg whites can be tricky in the sense that you want to completely mix it in, but not over mix. My trick is to count. I counted 20 folds, then checked to see how the filling looked.
Everything checked out so I poured the filling into the cake pan, which had just come out of the oven a moment before.
The magnificence that is cheesecake took 45 minutes to bake. If you aren't sure, wiggle it slightly. The middle will be cooked all the way through and have minimal to no wiggle when it's done.
Now for the best part! Once the cheesecake has cooled, drizzle the pomegranate syrup over it. The red really pops here. This will make a great dessert for Valentine's Day!
Pomegranate Cheesecake
Ingredients:
1/4 of the [graham cracker recipe|http://sweetestlemonade.com/paleo-graham- crackers/] uncooked
2 packages cream cheese, room temperature
4 eggs, separated
1 T lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup [tapioca flour|http://amzn.to/2kzECjR]
1/2 cup [Skylake Ranch Pomegranate Syrup|https://www.skylakeranch.com/]
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°. Spread approximately 1/4 of the graham cracker batter into the greased cake pan.
You can easily use the rest of the batter for graham crackers or just make less of the dough by cutting the amounts in half or quarters. As you press the dough into the pan, make sure it is about 1/2 inch thick.
Bake for 8-9 minutes.
While the crust is baking, set out a medium bowl and a large bowl.
In the large bowl combine the cream cheese, coconut sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, and tapioca flour.
Mix well. Now add in 4 egg yolks. Keep the whites of the eggs and put those into the medium bowl. For a perfect texture, use a hand mixer or kitchen aide.
In the medium bowl blend the 4 egg whites on high for 2-3 minutes, just until peaks form.
Fold the egg whites into the cream cheese filling. Stir with a rubber or wooden spatula.
Once the crust is done, pour the filling over it and bake for 45 minutes at 325°.
Check to make sure it's cooked through.
Once cooled, pour the pomegranate syrup over the top.
Serve immediately or chill in the fridge.
