Instructions

Key Lime Cheesescake Filling

  • Open coconut milk and spoon out 1/3 cup of separated coconut cream from top of can.
  • Blend coconut cream, cashews, lime juice, lime zest, orange juice, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt in food processor until no lumps remain.

Pretzel Crust

  • Blend pretzels, dates, salt, maple syrup, and coconut oil in food processor until mixture sticks together when pressed.

Key Lime Cheesescake Assembly

  • Pour filling on top of crust and place in freezer until firm. Slice and serve.

Notes

For this recipe, you'll start the filling by soaking the cashews, then you'll create the crust. When the crust is almost done freezing, you'll make the rest of the filling, pour it into the firm crust, and return the bars to the freezer. Cut and serve when the filling is firm.
