ALMOND CRUST
\n<\/strong>Prepare a 9-inch cake pan by pressing a 12 x 16-inch piece of parchment into it. The overhang helps to lift the pie out after it has chilled.<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.<\/p>\n

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the almonds, sugar and flour. Process for 1 to 2 minutes until the almonds are finely chopped. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Add the extracts and melted butter. Mix with a wooden spoon to combine well. As evenly as possible, press into the prepared cake pan creating a \u215b-inch thick crust that runs up the sides about 1\u00be-inch. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. Set aside.<\/p>\n

STRAWBERRY RHUBARB COMPOTE
\n<\/strong>Combine all compote ingredients in a sauce pan. Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes or until the rhubarb is tender and the compote has thickened. Pour compote into a bowl and let cool for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

STREUSEL TOPPING
\n<\/strong>In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add all streusel ingredients. Using medium speed, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the texture is coarse like sand. Set aside.<\/p>\n

CHEESECAKE BATTER
\n<\/strong>Reduce oven temperature to 300\u00b0F.<\/p>\n

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the cream cheese and sugar. Cream until smooth, approximately 3 minutes. Add the kefir (or buttermilk) with the mixer running. Pause and scrape the sides to ensure all is incorporated.Add the eggs one at a time, waiting for each to be fully incorporated before adding the next. Scrape the sides and mix again to ensure all is incorporated. Pour the cheesecake batter into the pre-baked pie shell. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the cheesecake mixture is just set.<\/p>\n

Top the cheesecake with the strawberry rhubarb compote and then the streusel mixture. Increase the oven temperature to 350\u00b0F and bake another 20 minutes. The streusel topping should be a light golden brown.<\/p>\n

Cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for 3 hours before serving. \u00a0Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
