Cheesecake with fig crust and kumquat glazed topping

Cheesecakes

I became intrigued with using healthier food choices to satisfy my senses in college. This is a healthier alternative way of a Cheesecake that reduces refined carbohydrates and replaces them with complex carohydrates. I feel better about serving such ingredients to my friends and family for their better health. I choose to use the late winter fruit, Kumquat and a healthy Fig crust. The Kumquat is a fragrant citrus with white flowers. It is also packed with vitamin A and C. The fig is a naturaly sweet fruit that has a good source of fiber, calcium and potassium. I decided it was a good idea to add it with my favorite dessert, Cheesecake. Hope you enjoy this recipe!
