Mango Cheesecake Bars

Crust

• 3 cups (105g) rice cereal
• 3 tbsp (96g) almond butter
• 3 tbsp (60g) maple syrup
• Pinch of salt

Cheesecake Filling

• 1 1/2 cup (180g) raw cashews, soaked 3+ hours
• 1 cup (240g) Native Forest Organic Simple Coconut Cream 
• 2 tbsp (40g) maple syrup
• 2 tbsp (30g) lime juice

Mango Layer

• 1 can Native Forest® Organic Mango Chunks
• 2 tbsp (25g) cane sugar
• 1/4 cup (30g) arrowroot starch

Instructions

1. Combine crust ingredients in a food processor. Process until crumbly and sticky. Press firmly into the bottom of an 8×8” square pan lined with parchment paper. Freeze.
2. Blend the filling ingredients until very smooth and creamy. Pour on top of the crust. Freeze 2 hours.
3. Blend the mango ingredients. Pour into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Simmer and whisk for 4-5 minutes until it starts to thicken. 
4. Dollop and spread on top of the cheesecake layer, working quickly so the cheesecake layer doesn’t get too warm/melty.
5. Freeze overnight.
6. Slice into squares, and enjoy.
