1/4 cup ground hazelnuts or pecans
1/4 cup sorghum flour
1/3 cup melted butter
For the filling
3/4 cup caramel topping sauce
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup Skor bits
3 packages (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup coconut palm sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted
Method
Heat oven to 325F. Mix the almond flour and butter, and press into the bottom of an 8 or 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and remove. Pour caramel sauce over the crust and add the chopped pecans. Beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, only until blended; do not overbeat.

Do you have an intolerance too? I am lactose intolerant but have been indulging lately… but I have to cut dairy out again completely.

Minus the nuts in this recipe and we would indulge ourselves in this delicious sounding dessert!
