How to Make Healthy Strawberry Cheesecake Bars

1. Make The Crust

Mix the crust ingredients, then press into an 8×8″ baking pan or baking dish lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15 minutes and let cool!

2. Blend The Cheesecake Filling

While the crust bakes, place all of the cheesecake filling ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth.

3. Bake

Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust and bake for another 25 minutes. Let cool!

4. Make The Topping

While the cheesecake cools, blend the topping ingredients together. Heat up the mixture in a saucepan on the stovetop until it thickens (about 8-10 minutes), then let cool and pour the strawberry sauce over the cheesecake bars.

5. Refrigerate

Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, but up to overnight. Slice into bars and enjoy!

Greek Yogurt & Cashew Cheesecake

Using Greek yogurt and raw cashews to make cheesecake is a great way to add more healthy fat and protein. I love this method for a healthier take on classic Strawberry Cheesecake Bars! The secret to success? Use a good blender, like this one, to really get a smooth cheesecake filling texture!

How To Store Strawberry Cheesecake Bars

Strawberry cheesecake bars are best stored in the refrigerator! Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Cheesecake bars can also be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months! To freeze them, place a small sheet of parchment paper between each bar to keep them from sticking in an airtight container. When ready to enjoy, thaw the bars out the night before in the fridge.
