Ingredients

For The Crust:
  • 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk unsweetened
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons honey (or agave for vegan)
  • 3 cups crispy rice cereal or regular/brown rice if you aren't GF, gluten-free
For The Cheesecake:
  • 8 ounces dairy-free cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup Monk Fruit Sweetener or granulated sweetener of choice
  • 1 dairy-free whipped topping thawed (9 ounces, container
Topping:
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Line a 9 x 13-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and almond milk. Melt on half power in the microwave using 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is melted. It might seize up a little, which is normal.
  3. Stir in the peanut butter and honey until the peanut butter is melted and mixed in thoroughly.
  4. Stir in the rice cereal until well coated.
  5. Pat the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust, making sure to pack it in tightly, especially in the corners. It helps to use dampened hands to prevent the crust from sticking to your fingers. Set aside.
  6. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and peanut butter, using an electric mixer, until fluffy and well combined.
  7. Beat in the monk fruit until well incorporated.
  8. Fold in the whipped topping, and then pour the cheesecake mixture over top of the crust, spreading it out evenly.
  9. Melt the peanut butter in the microwave, drizzle it over the cheesecake layer, and then swirl it with a toothpick or a chopstick. Or, drizzle it in straight lines and run a sharp knife through the lines to make the design seen in the photos.
  10. Freeze for at least 4 hours.
  11. Let the bars thaw for 5 minutes before lifting out of the pan and slicing with a very sharp knife.
