These creamy vegan mango cheesecake bars are a quick, easy, and refreshing treat perfect for warm weather. Made with a crunchy nut-date crust and a silky mango-cashew filling, they offer a tropical, dairy-free dessert option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups raw almonds or walnuts
  • 1 cup medjool dates, pitted
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups raw cashews, soaked for at least 4 hours or overnight
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 1/2 cups ripe mango chunks, fresh or frozen
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of turmeric (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soak 1 1/2 cups raw cashews in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. If short on time, soak in very hot water for 1 hour.
  2. In a food processor, pulse 1 1/2 cups almonds or walnuts with 1 cup pitted medjool dates and 1/4 tsp sea salt until the mixture sticks together when pressed.
  3. Add 1 tbsp melted coconut oil and pulse again briefly until crumbly but holds when pressed.
  4. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes.
  5. Drain the soaked cashews and add to a high-speed blender with 1 cup full-fat coconut milk, 1 1/2 cups mango chunks, 1/3 cup maple syrup, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of turmeric if using.
  6. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
  7. Pour the mango cashew mixture over the chilled crust and spread evenly with a spatula.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, preferably overnight, until firm enough to cut into bars.
  9. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between cuts for clean edges. Serve chilled.

Notes

Soak cashews properly for a smooth filling. Use a high-speed blender for best texture. Press crust firmly to prevent crumbling. Chill bars overnight for best flavor and texture. Use a knife warmed under hot water for clean cuts.
