Ingredients

Servings8

1 cup raw cashews, soaked in hot water for 2 hours then drained
1/3 cup canned full-fat coconut milk
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup almond flour
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon coconut flour

Instructions

In a bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Mix until crumbly but able to hold together when pressed.
Line an 8x4 inch air fryer-safe loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan, forming a compact base.
In a high-speed blender, blend soaked cashews, coconut milk, maple syrup, lemon juice, matcha powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt until very smooth and creamy (2–3 minutes), scraping sides as needed.
Pour the matcha cheesecake filling evenly over the crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Place the pan inside the air fryer basket carefully.
Air fry for 18 minutes or until edges begin to turn lightly golden and center is mostly set but still slightly jiggly.
Turn off the air fryer and let the cheesecake bars rest inside for 10 minutes to finish setting gently.
Remove from air fryer and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into 8 bars.
Serve chilled or at room temperature; optionally dust with extra matcha powder or garnish with fresh berries.

Recipe guidance

Crispiness Control

Pat the raw cashews dry, avoid crowding, and use only a light coat of oil or sauce before cooking. Add wet sauces near the end when you want the outside to stay crisp.
