Skinny Cheesecake Bars with Chocolate Drizzle

That's right. Skinny cheesecake bars. So you can have more than one without the guilt. 🙂 Chocolate drizzled for the added indulgence. Summer is a time for healthier and skinnier desserts so you can still fit into your swimsuit. But it doesn't mean the cravings for rich and creamy cheesecake bars is not there. If you agree, you will love these bars. They satisfy the craving for sure.

And guess what? You only need a food processor to make this treat. No mixer necessary. Both the crust and the filling is made in food processor, which cuts down on prep time and makes for less dishes to wash.

Skinny Cheesecake Bars with Chocolate Drizzle

 The filling is sweet enough even with just two tablespoons of sugar. The ViSalus Protein Shake mix gives it sweet vanilla flavor which let me cut down on added sugar in this recipe. The crust is one of my easiest and healthiest ones. If you don't have coconut or don't like coconut, just use more almonds or more oats. Combine it all with melted coconut oil and press into the pan. Pour the filling on top and bake. It's so easy!
