Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.

- Add fresh Driscoll raspberries. Reduce to simmer and simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and place in refrigerator to cool.
- Grease a 8×8 pan using cooking spray. (I also line my pan with parchment paper for easy removal of the cheesecake bars – optional)
- In a small bowl, add graham crackers, melted coconut oil, and fresh mint. Mix until mixture is slightly wet. Pour graham crackers in prepared pan and press into bottom for the crust.
- In a medium bowl mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract using a hand mixer. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Add in greek yogurt, lime juice, lime zest, egg whites, and arrowroot. Blend until combined – be sure not to over blend.
- Pour cheesecake mixture over graham cracker crust – smooth out so the cheesecake mixture is even.
- Pour raspberry sauce on top of cheesecake mixture, using a knife pull knife through raspberry mixture to create a swirl.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
