It’s the perfect mix between brownies and cheesecake but without all the baking… Oh! And also without a ton of saturated fats and processed sugars. This option is so much healthier than traditional recipes but equally yummy.

Cashews
Dates
Maple syrup
Tahini
Coconut cream
Coconut oil

You can use lentils instead of chickpeas if you prefer, just don’t over cook them and make sure to drain them properly.

I used cooked black rice in this recipe but any cooked rice works, use what you have.

How to Make Vegan Cheesecake Brownie Bars

You do you need a good food processor. I use a Ninja Blender for this type of recipe.

Process brownie ingredients and pour batter in a baking pan.
Process cheesecake ingredients and pour this mix on top of the brownie layer.
Pop it in the freezer for 3-4 hours (or overnight) and enjoy!

Instructions

Brownie layer:
Put everything except the cocoa powder in the food processor and mix until batter is smooth.
Then add the cocoa, process again until smooth.
Pour the batter into a baking pan (I use an 9”x9” Pyrex) with parchment paper and press mix evenly into the pan.
Put the pan in the freezer for 20 minutes to settle.
Vegan cheesecake layer:
Soak the cashews in hot water for 15-20 minutes and drain.

Pour the cheesecake mix on top of the brownie layer and put it back in the freezer for 3-4 hours or overnight.
While frozen, cut into small squares and enjoy! Keep leftovers in the freezer.
Optional toppings: add dark chocolate chips (or chunks) and creamy peanut butter.
