With a pecan-cacao powder crust that resembles the crust of brownies and a creamy, silky cashew-coffee topping, this is one seriously irresistible dessert!

There’s zero baking required, making them a cinch to whip up. You do have two steps involved – one for the crust and one for the filling, but it’s all easily done in the blender. Just blend, transfer to a baking pan to harden, pop in the refrigerator, and you’ve got decadent coffee “cheesecakes”!

Recipe by: Megan Olson

Calling all coffee lovers! These coffee cheesecake bars are about to become your new dessert obsession.

Ingredients

• FOR THE CRUST:
• 1 ½ cups raw pecans
• ½ cup cocoa powder
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• ½ t vanilla extract
• ½ t cinnamon
• ¼ t salt
• FOR THE FILLING:
• 1 ½ cups raw cashews, soaked in water 2-3 hours
• ½ cup maple syrup
• ¼ cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk
• ½ cup brewed coffee, chilled
• ¼ cup coconut oil
• ¼ t salt
• FOR THE TOPPING:
• ¼ cup cacao nibs

Instructions

• Place cashews in a large bowl and fill with water to soften 2-3 hours.
• Drain water from cashews. Set aside.
• TO MAKE THE CRUST: Combine all ingredients for the crust in a food processor or high speed blender. Process on high until fully combined. It will form a ball when it’s ready.
• Line a 9x5 meatloaf pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to hang over the edges of the pan for easy removal.
• Transfer the crust mixture to the pan and spread into an even layer. Place in the refrigerator.
• TO MAKE THE FILLING: Clean your blender or food processor, then add cheesecake ingredients. Process on high until creamy.
• Remove crust from refrigerator and evenly top with “cheesecake” filling. Sprinkle on cacao nibs.
• Place the pan in the freezer 2-3 hours.
• Remove from the freezer and gently lift the cheesecake out of the pan with the parchment paper. Place on a hard surface to slice into 12 bars. Note: you may need to let them thaw a bit prior to slicing.
