Kumquat Cheesecake
Submitted by KhaasLadki on December 27, 2008 - 10:06pm
I found this recipe on a forum somewhere while looking for a nut-free recipe for raw cheesecake. It could easily be made nut-free, all you have to do is either leave the crust out, or make your own nut-free crust! The filling has NO nuts!!!
I am going to make mine without the whole crust and just pulse some almonds, orange zest, and nutmeg and sprinkle it over the top.

I think this sounds like the kumquat cheesecake from Shazzi. I tried hers once and it was really nice, but I couldn't get on with the kumquats. Tangerines or clementines would have been better.
2. emtpdmom: I would probably
emtpdmom: I would probably substitute some tangerine or grapefruit. The next one I make I'm actually going to make with orange to see how it turns out, so you could probably try that, too!
abiguous: I don't remember what site I found it on... it was a small forum somewhere deep in the jungles of Google (haha). It could very well have come from somewhere else, though! I'm not trying to steal credit for it, I just wanted the recipe out there! :-)
3. Lucky me I have a small
Lucky me I have a small kumquat tree in the back yard. I am just crazy for them. emtpdmom, mine are not quite ripe yet so just keep checking back at your store in 3 or 4 weeks. I know they are getting more popular now. & thanks Khass for posting this! Will be happy to try it soon.
4. I recommend buying kumquats
I recommend buying kumquats if you can get them--they're really awesome. The inside flesh is sour, and the rinds are sweet. However, I bet a tablespoon or two of (unwaxed) orange or tangerine zest would be a good substitute for this recipe. I can't get kumquats now either.
And I believe this recipe is originally from Shazzie, though I could be wrong.
5. KhaasLadki, this recipe looks
KhaasLadki, this recipe looks delicious and easy / quick to assemble. I love cheesecake, and would like to try this recipe. However, there are no kumquats in the stores here. Could you suggest a substitute (maybe a bit of orange or tangerine), or would you recommend just leaving them out?

i just saw kumquats at the grocery store for the first time. i had no clue what they were. they kind of look like baby oranges. i will have to try this out because i usually buy things that i have a recipe for.
