It truly delights me to receive requests.
Sometimes they are sweet. Sometimes they are savory. Sometimes they are specific. And, sometimes they are simply hints –

I love them all!
A challenge – or not – my days in the kitchen are my therapy.

The only parameter of this little request was that it be plant based – vegan – no animal products.

No problem at all!

Vegan Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bars

Crust:
2 sticks Earth Balance Vegan Butter
1 sleeve HoneyMaid graham crackers
1 cup Enjoy Life vegan chocolate chips

Filling:
16 oz. vegan cream cheese
12 oz. Raspberry Jam

Topping:
1 cup Enjoy Life vegan chocolate chips
fresh raspberries

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Melt the Earth Balance and process the graham crackers into fine crumb. Combine the melted butter with the grahams and press into the bottom of a quick release cheesecake pan (lined with parchment).
Top with 1 cup of vegan chocolate chips.
Bake for about 25 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.

Meanwhile, whip together the vegan cream cheese and Raspberry Jam until somewhat smooth.

Once the crust has cooled, slather the filling over the crust and top with the remaining chocolate chips.
Chill for several hours before slicing and serving with fresh raspberries.
