Make the cheesecake filling by blending soaked cashews with other ingredients, pour onto the phyllo crust, and add a date-nut mixture. Chill in the fridge or freezer, optionally drizzle with warm maple syrup, and slice before serving.

An alternate assembly option involves freezing the cheesecake layer before adding the nut mixture, and the bars can be made more solid with additional freezing. Use parchment paper to remove the cheesecake from the pan and slice to serve.
