Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect streusel topping, use cold butter and flour. This will help the streusel stay crumbly and not turn into a dough.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can make the streusel topping by hand. Simply use a pastry cutter or two forks to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • For a richer cheesecake filling, use full-fat cream cheese. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract for extra flavor.
  • Be sure to chill the cheesecake bars for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help the cheesecake set and firm up.
  • If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking pan, you can use a 10-inch springform pan. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.

Almond streusel cherry cheesecake bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
