Ingredients

There are 3 layers in these bars: the crust, cheesecake filling, and strawberry topping. Here’s what you’ll need for this egg-free Healthy Strawberry Cheesecake Bars recipe:

Crust

Cheesecake Filling

Topping

  • Fresh Strawberries
  • Honey
  • Tapioca Starch

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, (opens in a new tab) 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.

Prep: 20 minCook: 30 minSet Time: 3 hrTotal: 3 hr 50 min

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup almond flour (opens in a new tab)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 Tablespoons honey
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted

  • 1 Tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 Tablespoons tapioca starch (opens in a new tab)
  • 10 medium strawberries, tops removed

Topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit. 
  2. Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt.
  4. Mix in the honey and melted butter, then add 1 tablespoon of water or just enough until the dough comes together.
  5. If the mixture still looks too dry, add in 1-2 more teaspoons of water. 
  6. Press the mixture into your prepared baking pan until it is even. 
  7. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. 
  8. Meanwhile, add all ingredients for the filling to a high speed blender and blend until completely smooth. Taste and add more sweetener if desired. 
  9. Pour the filling on top of the crust and bake for 25 minutes. 
  10. 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. 
  11. 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.
  12. When the bars are done, let cool for 10 minutes, pour the sauce on top, then press on extra strawberries if desired. 
  13. Set in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight. 
  14. Slice into 16 bars and enjoy! Store in the fridge for best results.
