GRAINY Cream Cheese in my Cheeses Cake

[Conscious Midwife]

Som I made some cream cheese out of macadamian nuts water a pinch of sea salt and honey ( all raw ingredients)

The crust is scrumptous the lazed strawberries awesome

but my cream cheese filling is grainy, what went wrong, during the taste test before chilling I didn't notie the graininess but once I made it a pie and served up a slice, uuugggghhhhh:confused:

MAcs are to expensive for oopses.

I used the other half of my Mac order on Alissa's alfredo sauce , wonderful and a pefect texture too.

Mine was too. I kept smoothing it out. It took friggen 2 hours to make mine so you can only imagine LOL.. but it was goooood

Oh crap, it's already in the pie crust with strawberries on top.

I used the food processor for a while, but 2 hours, NO WAY

Next time I'll search for the recipe i saw that had coconut oil in it maybe that is the key too.

Weird thing is that my alfredo sauce came out perfect, same nuts same food processor same day

Hmmmmmm

Could it have been the honey crystallizing when you chilled it?

Maybe or the oils in the nuts, cause actually I was in a hurry so I put it in the freezer.:rolleyes:

I'm contemplating dehydrating for like 30 min then serving fridge or room temp. I really dont kno what to do.

MAybe a cheese cake parfait if I remove the insides and blend with a banana then crumble the crust on top b ut then itwouldn't taste like cheese cake

and macadamians are too expensive to serve as a smoothie.

Uggghhhh again

THANKS ALL FOR TRYING TO HELP ME SORT THIS OUT:)

I always make my cheese (creamcheese and otherwise) in the blender if I want a really smooth texture. Sometimes that means adding more liquid (water, lemon juice, etc.) a little at a time to get it moving - but that always seems to work for me. Maybe next time grind the nuts first (or soak them if you didn't already) and then process with everything else.

But you couldn't just scrape the filling out of the crust although the berries are in it? I mean, I've seen cheesecakes that are pink from having the berries mixed in as opposed to on top...so just take it out and blend it. I've done similar before...I made an apple pie and the filling was bangin', but the crust was jacked...so I scraped out the filling and made a different crust, filled it and all was well! ;)

Hummm at $17/ lb for macs there might not be a next time
might just use my flyer miles and come to your house for a slice:p

That is why rawkie always uses cashews! ;)

Read what I edited in after I initially posted about reblending it.

I had the same experience with sunflower seeds when I made my pate a few days ago.

I found out that using juicer is the best way to make it smooth. It's more advantageous than blender when you don't want to add water.

Sorry about your cream cheese. I know it's so expensive. Even with my sunflower seeds pate, I didn't want it to go wasted and it's sooooooooo much cheaper.
