Raw Vegan Matcha Cheesecake Bars Recipe (1)

Raw, vegan cheesecake isn’t new to me.I’ve already shared with you recipes for raw blood orange cheesecake bars and raw orange creamsicle cheesecake cupcakes. I’m a huge fan of matcha green tea powder. I use it drinks, baking and smoothies. But today’sRaw Matcha Cheesecake Bars Recipe happens to be no-bake.

So simple and easy to make, too!

Made with cashew cream, coconut cream, coconut oil and high quality matcha green tea powder, these mini dessert bars are to die for.

And the crust? Low sugar and full of fiber. Made with almonds, prunes and coconut oil. Yes, prunes instead of dates. Feel free to use dates, if you like them better, but I just prefer dried prunes for my no-bake healthy desserts.

Naturally fat free. They are lower in calorie and less sweet. They even bring a unique chewiness the crust, which is amazing.

Of course, raw cheesecake crusts, made with prunes, are not as sticky as the ones, made with dates. I know that not everyone is a fan of plums and prunes, but they are great for raw desserts or just snacking.

Matcha Green Tea Powder has great health benefits, brings fresh taste to thisRaw Matcha Cheesecake Bars Recipe and makes their color beautiful.

Even though, I don’t follow vegan lifestyle and my diet is all about balance, I enjoy creating vegan desserts.

I don’t make them as often as I make regular desserts though.

Raw, Vegan, plant based desserts require minimal time to make and can be stored in the freezer for weeks. This is so cool! I cut this cheesecake into smaller squares, 1 1/2×1 1/2 -inch, so they are perfect for a healthy snack.

You need to plan your time and make sure you soak the cashews for the cashew cream for at least 6 hours and you’ll need to let the raw matcha cheesecake set in the freezer for 4 hours. Everything else is easy. Just let the food processor do the work.

Hope you like theseRaw Matcha Cheesecake Bars! If you like matcha, just like me, what is your favorite way to use it? I’d love to know!
