Almond Cheesecake Bars Healthy Gourmet Recipe

I love Almond Cheesecake Bars – A Healthy Baking gourmet recipes that use almond, and almond extract is so fabulous! I always have a can of roasted almonds in the pantry for snacking on too. I also love cheesecake, but making and storing a big cheesecake takes time and space. Cheesecake bars, on the other hand, are quick and they store beautifully, taking up very little room in the fridge.
