1. Preheat oven to 350F with rack on lower middle position. Grease a 9×13 pan and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the butter and powdered sugar; using electric (or stand) mixer fitted with paddle attachment, mix together on medium high speed until light and fluffy, 3-4min. Gently add flour and mix on low speed just until combined. Mixture will be crumbly, so use hands to form a dough ball. Press evenly into prepared glass pan to form bottom crust (I use bottom of a flat glass cup to press down evenly.) Bake 18 minutes or until lightly browned and set. Remove from oven, but leave oven on.
3. In a large bowl, combine eggs, very-soft cream cheese, and sugar. Whisk together until creamy and no lumps remain (it really helps if your cream cheese is quite soft to start with.) Add almond extract and mix to combine. Evenly pour the filling over crust, using rubber spatula to scrape all filling. Bake 15-20 min or until set. Let dessert cool completely on wire rack.
4. In a bowl, combine all frosting ingredients. Whisk until smooth and no more lumps. Evenly frost over cooled dessert bars (be sure bars have cooled completely before frosting.) Cover, chill, and serve with almond slices on top.

Almond Butter Bars (NoBake) From My Bowl

1. Line a 8″x3″ loaf pan with parchment paper. Make sure there is extra paper hanging over two sides of the pan, to make the bars easier to remove (see blog post photos for reference).
2. Whisk the almond flour, cacao powder, and a pinch of salt together in a medium bowl. Pour in the maple syrup, then begin mixing with a spatula. Mix until all of the flour has absorbed the maple syrup and the dough sticks together when pinched; you may need to switch to your hands at some point. Transfer the base layer to the lined pan and use a damp spatula or fingertips to evenly press the dough into the base; place in the freezer for 10 minutes while you prepare the filling.
3. Whisk the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt together in a separate medium bowl. Add the melted coconut oil once combined and mix until completely incorporated – the filling will begin to stick to the sides of the bowl, but still be runny. Pour this mixture into the lined pan over the base layer, using a spatula to smooth out the top. Return the pan to the freezer and freeze for at least 10 minutes.
4. add the dark chocolate and coconut oil (if using) to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 60 seconds; remove from the oven and use a clean and dry spatula to stir the chocolate and oil together until all pieces of chocolate have completely melted. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the almond butter mixture. You can use a spatula to spread it around but it should still be quite runny, so you can also gently shake the pan back and forth to help it spread evenly. Sprinkle Maldon salt over the melted chocolate, then place in the freezer for 30 minutes, or until the bars have hardened.

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt and set aside. Cream together the butter and the sugar. Add the egg and the almond extract and then mix until light and fluffy. Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Mix until combined.
2. Press the dough into the bottom of a well-greased 9x13 pan. Press with your fingers or a pastry roller to smooth the top of the dough. Using a pastry brush, brush a tiny bit of milk across the top of the dough. Sprinkle with sliced almonds and very lightly press them into the top of the dough.
3. Bake for 18-20 min, or until just barely beginning to brown around the edges. Do not let the bars brown at all. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then cut into bars. If they are too soft to cut, let them cool for a few more minutes. Carefully transfer the bars to a wire rack to cool completely before icing.
4. To make the icing: Add just a tiny bit of milk at a time to the powdered sugar. If the consistency is too thick, it won't drizzle nicely over the bars. If it is too thin, the icing will just melt into the bars. If you are unsure, test a bit of it on the edge of one bar before drizzling the icing over the entire batch.
