No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Bars

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour (crust)
• 3 tbsp dairy-free butter, melted (crust)
• 2 tbsp allulose (crust)
• 1 tbsp unflavored gelatin
• 3 tbsp cold water
• 16 oz dairy-free cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup allulose
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup canned coconut cream
• 1.5 cups diced fresh strawberries
• 2 tbsp allulose (for macerating)

Method

1. 1

   Mix almond flour, melted butter, and allulose, press into a lined 8x8 pan, chill.

2. 2

   Toss diced strawberries with 2 tbsp allulose and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes — macerating them like this draws out their natural juices, breaking them down into a jammier, syrupy topping instead of leaving dry, separate pieces of fruit sitting on top.

3. 3

   Bloom gelatin in cold water 5 minutes, then melt gently until liquid.

4. 4

   Beat cream cheese, allulose, vanilla, and coconut cream until smooth, then beat in the warm gelatin.

5. 5

   Pour over the chilled crust, spoon the macerated strawberries and their juices over the top, swirling gently with a knife. Chill at least 4 hours until set (plus 4h chill), then slice into bars.
