- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ cup cassava flour
- ¼ cup almond flour

Tools Needed:
- Hand Blender

Add in those delicious walnuts and mix until well combined.
Now it’s time to get those paws dirty. You are going to press the dough mixture into the ungreased 8×8 pan. Make sure its a nice even layer.
Bake the crust on the middle shelf in the oven for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
The Filling Steps
You will need:

- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Start off by adding the cream cheese and sugar to a big glass bowl. Mix with your hand blender until smooth.
Add in the egg and milk then mix until smooth. Beat in the lemon juice and vanilla. Mix until smooth then set aside mixture.
Remove that gorgeous Paleo crust from the oven and add the cheesecake filling on top. Smooth it out with a spatula ensuring you have a nice even layer.
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 30 minutes. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours then slice into 1” squares and enjoy! Do you want a bite of this?
Just get ready for these to be gone very fast! Hope you guys enjoy!
