How to Make No-Bake Cheesecake Bars

Plus, they’re refreshing, easy to make and oh so delicious – no oven required! Here’s how to do it:
To make the crust, simply soak pitted dates in hot water for 10 minutes. Drain them and then add them to a food processor with some macadamia nuts and unsweetened shredded coconut. Pulse a few times until everything is combined and crumbly. Press the mixture into a greased 8 x 8″ square baking pan and pop it in the fridge.
Next, make the cheesecake filling by combining light cream cheese, coconut flavored Greek yogurt, monk fruit sweetener and vanilla extract using a hand mixer or food processor. Pour this over the crust and stick the pan back in the fridge.
While that’s setting, prepare the mango chia seed topping. Simply blend mango chunks to a puree, then stir in chia seeds and let it sit for an hour. Once it’s thickened up, pour it over the cheesecake filling. Refrigerate for four hours or overnight. Slice the cheesecake into 16 bars and enjoy!
