There is nothing more disappointing than finding a recipe that looks absolutely amazing but the ingredients come from an exotic island in the middle of nowhere.
But today you are in luck. This recipe contains only 9 ingredients, and I am 100% positive that you will be able to find all the ingredients in your pantry!
This recipe yields 8 large bars (like above) or you can slice the Cheesecake into 24 mini bites like below. Either way this is a delightful treat to have in your freezer when your sweet tooth kicks in. 
Cheesecake Bars
(Raw Vegan & Gluten Free)
Serves: 8 large bars or 24 mini squares
Crust:
1 cups dates
1/2 cup gluten free rolled oats
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1 tbsp cacao powder
Cheesecake:
2 cups cashews (soak for 4-6 hours to soften)
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tbsp vanilla extract
Chocolate:
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1 tbsp coconut oil
Directions
1) Blend all of the crust ingredients in a food processor or Vitamix . Press the crust into a lined 4×9 inch rectangular baking dish.
2) After the Vitamix/ food processor has been cleaned, blend the cheesecake ingredients to the food processor until the mixture is smooth. Pour over the crust layer and spread it out evenly.
3) Melt the chocolate chips & coconut oil in a microwave for 1 minute. Pour the melted chocolate over the filling & place the cheesecake in the freezer for 4-8 hours. Cut into 8 bars and serve. Enjoy!
