No-Bake Raspberry Cheesecake Bars
I'm a sucker for a sweet treat- especially anything that has to do with cheesecake! These no-bake bars are super easy to make yet still have the classic cheesecake flavor you love.
For the crust, I used Simple Mills Crunchy Toasted Pecan grain-free cookies, then subbed out regular cream cheese for Kite Hill Foods dairy-free cream cheese spread & coconut cream. Grab your food processor, follow just a few steps, then let the freezer do the rest of the work.
No need to turn the oven on for this recipe! This no-bake cheesecake is a refreshing dessert when the weather's warm or you just don't feel like baking. These bars will brighten up your day whether you make them for a special occasion or a mid-week treat.
