Crust
Finely grind the walnuts in a food processor.
Place the crushed walnuts, oats, and cinnamon in a bowl. Mix well.
Mix in the honey and almond butter, forming crumbs with your thumb and forefinger.
Distribute the mixture evenly in a deep 9 inch (23 centimeters) spring form round baking pan.
Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
Cheese Filling
Gather the cheese filling ingredients.
One by one, separate the egg yolks from the egg whites being careful that no egg yolk enters the egg whites.
Beat the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks. Set Aside.
Beat the cheese on a low speed until creamy.
Continuing on a low speed, gradually beat in the honey until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg yolks, one at a time until well blended.
Blend in the yogurt, vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon rind until well blended.
Add the oat flour and blend until smooth. Remove the bowl from the mixer.
Using a spatula, delicately fold the beaten egg whites into the cheese mixture until distributed evenly.
Gently pour onto the baked crust in the prepared baking pan and distribute evenly.
Bake for 50 minutes or until the top of the cake is golden.
Turn off the heat and let the cake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
Remove the cake and let it cool at room temperature up until 1/2 hour.
Chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
Strawberry Topping
Gather the topping ingredients.
Clean the strawberries and slice them into circles.
Place them into a medium size pot and gradually bring to a boil.
Add the honey, lemon juice and lemon rind and mix well. Bring to a boil.
Lower the heat & simmer for 15 minutes.
Gradually add the oat flour, bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes stirring frequently. Let cool. Refrigerate for at least a 1/2 hour before topping the cheesecake.
Evenly distribute the topping over the top of the cooled cheesecake.
Serve cold.
Strawberries vary in sweetness so adjust the honey quantity in the strawberry topping accordingly.
Keep refrigerated & serve cold.
