No-bake blackberry cheesecake bars. Yum! Don’t turn on the oven. A creamy, cold refreshment made with low fat dairy options and coconut oil!

•(For the topping)
•2 cups fresh washed blackberries (frozen works as well. reduce water in sauce as instructed)
•2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 4 tablespoons water(for frozen, thawed watery berries-eliminate water and use blackberry juices-you can drain some off into a bowl and mix the cornstarch in that way- then pour it into the gently boiling berries. That's what I did. For stiffer set add another Tablespoon cornstarch)
•(for the crust)
•one sleeve graham crackers(I'm using cinnamon grahams-low fat is fine)

•12 ounces Neufchatel cheese- room temperature
•1/4 Cup Greek yogurt
