Cashew Cheesecake Bars
Prep
Inactive
Total
Yield 12 Bars
Ingredients:
Crust:
- ½ cup of pitted dates
- ½ cup of walnuts
- ½ cup of shredded coconut
Filling:
- 1 ½ cup of soaked cashews
- ¼ cup of coconut oil
- ¼ cup of Keto Maple syrup or raw honey
- 5 tbsps. of lemon juice
- 1 tsp of organic vanilla extract
Instructions:
Step #1: Place all crust ingredients in a blender and pulse until they hit breadcrumb consistency. You want to be able to press this between your fingers and have it keep its shape.
Step #2: Press crust to the bottom of your pan.
Step #3: Place all filling ingredients in a blender. You will need to blend, re-blend, stir, re-blend, repeat until it becomes creamy. I found using a magic bullet worked better for this step then the blend tech. I am sure a food processor would work great as well!
Step #4: Spoon filling amount into crust.
Step #5: Freeze for 30-60 minutes, then enjoy!

Special Notes:
You can use whatever pan you want depending on the shape and thickness you want the bars to be. Example: you can spread it out over a larger pan to give you a thinner bar, or a small circle/square pan to give you thicker bars.
You can also make these in a muffin tin. Use any kind of nut you want for the crust.
Make sure you soak the cashews overnight or at least a couple of hours so they will blend well. Top with chocolate chips, fruit, cinnamon or anything that sounds good at the time!
Dr Jockers Comments:
This is a fantastic recipe for a dessert party, holiday party or birthday party. This recipe is completely gluten-free, grain-free and casein-free so it is great for those who are on a restricted diet.
This is more sugar than I would typically recommend so be sure to have this as a special treat! Fortunately, this recipe has tons of coconut oil and coconut flakes that provide good medium chain triglyceride (MCT) fats that help to balance blood sugar and improve hormones and brain function.
Be careful with these! They taste so good they have a habit of disappearing quickly! Enjoy!
