Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups gluten -free graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter, melted
  • 2 cups raw cashews, soaked in water for 4-8 hours and drained
  • 1/2 cup full -fat coconut cream, chilled (solids only)
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup refined coconut oil, melted and cooled
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/3 cup vegan rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  • Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the gluten-free graham cracker crumbs and melted vegan butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  • Transfer the crust mixture to the prepared pan and press firmly into an even layer using the bottom of a flat glass.
  • Place the crust in the freezer to firm up while preparing the filling.
  • Place the soaked and drained cashews into a high-speed blender. Add the coconut cream, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, almond extract, lemon juice, and salt.
  • Process on high speed for 2-3 minutes or until the mixture is completely smooth and emulsified. Stop to scrape down the sides as necessary.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling into a large mixing bowl. Gently fold in 1/3 cup of vegan rainbow sprinkles using a spatula.
  • Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the surface with an offset spatula. Decorate the top with additional sprinkles if desired.
  • Place the pan in the freezer for at least 6 hours, or until the filling is completely set and firm to the touch.
  • Remove from the freezer and let the bars sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before lifting the parchment paper to remove the slab.
  • Slice into 12 bars using a sharp knife dipped in hot water. Serve chilled.
