Here’s the ingredients you will need to make this happen.

You will need:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temp)
• 1/3 cup golden monk fruit sugar
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1/2 cup cassava flour
• 1/4 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Tools Needed:

• Hand Blender
• Big Glass Bowl
• Spoon and Spatula

Start off by using a small food processor to crush your walnuts.

You are going to want to combine the butter, sugar, and the maple syrup with a hand mixer and mix until smooth.

Now it’s time to get those paws dirty. You are going to press the dough mixture into the ungreased 8×8 pan. Make sure its a nice even layer.

Bake the crust on the middle shelf in the oven for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.

The Filling Steps

You will need:

• 8 ounces cream cheese (I used lactose free Green Valley Cream Cheese)
• 1/4 cup monk fruit sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp almond milk
• 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tsp vanilla

Start off by adding the cream cheese and sugar to a big glass bowl. Mix with your hand blender until smooth.

Add in the egg and milk then mix until smooth. Beat in the lemon juice and vanilla. Mix until smooth then set aside mixture.

Remove that gorgeous Paleo crust from the oven and add the cheesecake filling on top. Smooth it out with a spatula ensuring you have a nice even layer.

Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 30 minutes. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours then slice into 1” squares and enjoy! Do you want a bite of this?

Just get ready for these to be gone very fast! Hope you guys enjoy!
