High-Protein Goat Cheesecake With Date Nut Crust

Crust

Add the nuts and chocolate to a food processor. Process for about a minute, then add the dates and continue processing until the mixture is fine and crumbly.

Pour all the contents into a 8x8 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper.

Using your fingers, press the mixture into the pan until it's dense and flat.

You can quit now and enjoy some homemade copycat Larabars!

Cheesecake Filling

Beat the cream cheese and goat cheese with a hand mixer until creamy.

Add in the rest of the ingredients and continue beating until fully incorporated and smooth.

Pour the cheesecake mixture onto the date nut crust in the baking pan.

Bake in a water bath at 325°F for about 45 minutes, until the top is slightly golden and the cheesecake is set.

Let it sit on a cooking rack on the countertop, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Cut into 16 squares.

Top with the juiciest fruits you can find! I used figs because they pair nicely with goat cheese.
