Method

Step 1 of 7

Grease a 20cm (7cm deep) round springform pan. Line base and side with baking paper.

Step 2 of 7

Place muesli in a food processor and process until fine crumbs form. Add almond spread and oil, then process until combined. Using back of a metal spoon, press mixture over base of pan. Freeze for 20 minutes.

Step 3 of 7

Place 1/3 cup boiling water in a small bowl. Sprinkle over gelatine and mix until dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly. Place ricotta, yoghurt, honey, zest and vanilla in a cleaned food processor and process for 30 seconds or until very smooth. Add gelatine mixture. Process for 15 seconds or until combined. Pour mixture over base in pan. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until slightly firm.

Step 4 of 7

To make the beetroot chips, preheat oven to 120°C/100°C fan-forced. Arrange beetroot in a single layer on a large baking paper-lined baking tray. Bake for 1 hour 30 minutes or until dried and crisp. Allow to cool on tray.

Step 5 of 7

Meanwhile, to make the beetroot jelly, place beetroot and apple juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then remove pan from heat. Strain mixture through a fine sieve into a jug. Sprinkle over gelatine and mix well until dissolved. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Step 6 of 7

Pour jelly over cheesecake and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight, if time permits, to set completely.
