I made this for company and received compliments for this delicious dessert. These are large, substantial bars. They look attractive on a pretty serving plate. The filling is one of the best cheesecake fillings I have yet made, plus the strawberry topping always complements cheesecake so well. You can make this any time of year as I used frozen strawberries; my preference. For me, it is easier to make the cheesecake, refrigerate overnight, make the strawberry sauce, let cool and pour it over the chilled cheesecake. Refrigerate. Serve fully chilled.
Ingredients: 
Crust:
1 3/4 cups of either ground almonds, OR (425 mL)
Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2, OR Keto Bake Mix

1 tsp vanilla extract (5 mL)
Strawberry Sauce:
3 cups sliced, slightly thawed frozen strawberries (750 mL)
2 tsp lemon juice (10 mL)
Liquid sweetener to equal 1/4 cup sugar (60 mL)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Crust: In medium bowl, measure Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2, OR Keto Bake Mix, OR ground almonds. In small bowl, combine melted butter, liquid sweetener and salt. Stir into dry ingredients. Press into 12 x 8 inch (30 x 20 cm) glass baking dish. Bake 10 minutes.

Then add sour ream, heavy cream and vanilla extract; process until smooth. Pour over prepared crust. Bake 17 to 20 minutes, or until set. Allow to cool. Refrigerate.

them vertically from the top down in quarters), lemon juice and sweetener. Bring to the boil and cook until slightly
thickened and syrupy. Allow to cool and
