No Bake Lemon Cheesecake Bars

Jump to Recipe

One of my favorite desserts involves anything with lemon, especially lemon bars. So I thought I would combine my two favorites, cheesecake and lemon bars to create these no bake lemon cheesecake bars. They look super fancy and you are probably thinking complicated, but I promise you they are super easy to prepare. What I love about these cheesecakes is that it requires ZERO baking so you don’t have to worry about doing water bath, baking, etc that typical cheesecakes require to prepare.

First you want to prepare your crust by adding your granola, coconut oil, almonds, and dates to a food processor and process for 10 seconds. You want your crust to resemble sand like consistency and easy to form into a think layer. Add to an 8×8 or smaller baking dish lined with parchment paper and press down with your hands to form a thin layer for the crust and store in the freezer while you prepare the “cheesecake filling.”

For the cheesecake filling you are going to add soaked cashews, dates, juice of lemon, coconut oil, cinnamon, vanilla extract, coconut cream to a food processor and process for 10-15 seconds. You want the filling to be thick and creamy. Add to your crust and stick in the freezer to harden up for an hour. For garnish top with lemon slices and some powdered sugar.

I store mine in my freezer and when I want to enjoy I let it sit at room temperature for a couple minutes. I hope you all enjoy these as much as I do.
