Ingredients

Crust

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup almond flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 Tablespoons honey
1/3 cup butter, melted
1-2 Tablespoons water

Cheesecake Filling

1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt
1 1/2 cups raw cashews
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 Tablespoon lemon zest
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
2 Tablespoons tapioca starch
10 medium strawberries, tops removed

Topping

16 ounces strawberries, tops removed
2 Tablespoons honey
1 1/2 Tablespoons tapioca starch

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt.
Mix in the honey and melted butter, then add 1 tablespoon of water or just enough until the dough comes together.
If the mixture still looks too dry, add in 1-2 more teaspoons of water.
Press the mixture into your prepared baking pan until it is even.
Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, add all ingredients for the filling to a high speed blender and blend until completely smooth. Taste and add more sweetener if desired.
Pour the filling on top of the crust and bake for 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, add the 16 ounces of strawberries to a blender or food processor with the honey and tapioca and pulse to combine. You want the strawberries to look mushy.
Transfer to a pan on the stove and heat over medium/low heat until thick, about 8-10 minutes whisking occasionally. Set aside to cool slightly.
When the bars are done, let cool for 10 minutes, pour the sauce on top, then press on extra strawberries if desired.
Set in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Slice into 16 bars and enjoy! Store in the fridge for best results.

Notes

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.
