About This Recipe
These no-bake cheesecake bars are delicious and so easy to make. Zero oven required! Which is awesome am I right!? Who else loves a good no-bake recipe? Just assemble and let the fridge/freezer/time passed do the work!
I love everything about each layer too. They ALL compliment each other so well. I thought about using something different for the crust, but holy moly, these oats ‘n honey granola bars make it. And no, I am not sponsored by Nature Valley lol.
They really do pair so amazingly with the creamy and sweet cheesecake layer! And everything just tastes more amazing with sprinkles. Do not argue with me on this one 😂
And if you want more amazing cheesecake flavor, try my Churro Protein Cheesecake Bars, Cinnamon Swirl Protein Cheesecake or my Mini Biscoff Cookie Cheesecakes perfect for any occasion!

Do I have to use Nature Valley bars for these cheesecake bars?
You can use any crunchy granola bar that you love! I personally think the Oats ‘n Honey bars give the perfect amount of sweet and crunch but any type of crispy, crunchy granola bar will work. You could also use crushed up graham crackers! I just don’t recommend using chewy granola bars are these will not produce the crunchy crust we want!
Can I make these bars dairy-free?
Yes, to make this cheesecake recipe dairy-free just use dairy-free Greek yogurt, dairy-free cream cheese and dairy-free whipped topping. You can also use vegan/dairy-free sprinkles.
Can I freeze these cheesecake bars?
Yes! I actually recommend storing these cheesecake bars in the freezer. Bars will stay good in the freezer for up to 3 months.
