What are the ingredients in the No-bake oat cherries cheesecake bar?

• Jumbo oat- the oat is the substitute for regular biscuits, and it makes the base for the cheesecake glute-free. The oats are toast in the oven until golden, to release nutty flavor. Later they're blended to reduce them to flour in order to better achieve that looking cheesecake biscuits base.

• Almond flour - it is gluten-free. It is mix with oat flour to increase the texture and the flavour.  

• Icing sugar – It is perfect to use for those recipes that don't require baking. Because it's dissolve in the batter.

• Butter – it's used melted in a mixture of sugar, almond flour, oat flour, salt. The melting process gives that butterscotch flavor which reminds me of the famous biscuit base cheesecake. Before spreading the cream, it is crucial to let it rest in the fridge or in the freezer to reach that crunchy layer.

• Full fat cream cheese - The full-fat cream cheese gives that creamy flavor. Has less water in it which is ideal to reach that firm texture. I have used Philadelphia cheese, you can use another type of cream cheese as long is full fat. The resting time of the cream batter is essential. I suggest you leave it in the fridge overnight since it doesn’t contain any gelatine.

• Full-fat Greek yogurt- It is used instead of whipping cream. In my opinion, it gives a more refreshing and slightly acid flavor, perfect for hot days. The full-fat Greek yogurt has a thick texture which helps the cheesecake bar to keep its shape.

• Salt and Vanilla - it enhances the flavour of the cake.

• Cherries- are cooked to create a jam texture and then are spread over the cream cheese batter. You can also use cherry jam bought in the supermarket if the taste of the cherries is not great.
