Enjoy a sweet treat with no heat required! This decadent no-bake Chocolate Sea Salt Swirl Cheesecake mixes the rich, velvety texture of Cheesecake with the salty, satisfying crunch of roasted chocolatey almonds + flaky sea salt.
INGREDIENTS
-
About 18 whole, or 2 sleeves of, graham crackers (To make it gluten free, we suggest Pamela’s Gluten Free Honey Grahams)
-
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted (We like to swap this for Miyokos Organic Vegan Butter)
-
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
-
12 oz full-fat cream cheese, at room temperature (We love Violife Cream Cheese Alternative as an easy swap to make this vegan!)
-
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
-
1 cups full-fat Greek yogurt, at room temperature (We like Kite Hill Greek Style Plant Bast Yogurt)
- 1/4 Big Spoon Roasters Chocolate Sea Salt Almond Butter
PREPARATION
-
Line 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides.
-
In a food processor, or in a resealable plastic bag, crush the graham crackers until you have fine crumbs (but stop before you have dust). You should have about 2¼ cups.
-
Transfer the crumbs to a medium bowl. Add the butter, sugar and salt, and stir until evenly moistened.
-
Tip the crumbs into the prepared pan and press them down into an even layer on the bottom.
-
Transfer to the freezer while you prepare the filling.
-
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy, 3 minutes.
- Beat in the yogurt just until combined, about 30 seconds. Mix 1/4 cup of big spoon roasters chocolate sea salt with a splash of hot water and mix.
-
Dollop the nut butter over the cream cheese. Use the back of a spoon or chopstick to spread nut butter into swirls.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until very cold, at least 6 hours or up to overnight. Keep the bars refrigerated until serving.
- Enjoy!
