Categories     dessert

Time 2h35m

Yield 16 bars

Number Of Ingredients 15

Cooking spray
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 ounces mini marshmallows
2 teaspoons honey
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Kosher salt
4 cups crispy rice cereal
One 1/4-ounce packet unflavored powdered gelatin
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup sour cream
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Kosher salt
2 cups mixed raspberries and blueberries, for topping

Steps:

  • For the crispy layer: Line a 9-inch square pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. Lightly coat the foil and a wooden spoon with cooking spray.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the marshmallows, honey, vanilla and a pinch of salt, and stir with the prepared wooden spoon until the marshmallows have completely melted, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the rice cereal, and stir until the mixture is fully combined. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan, and press into an even layer. Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 20 minutes.
  • For the cheesecake layer: Meanwhile, combine the gelatin with 2 tablespoons water in a small microwave-safe bowl, and set aside to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Beat the cream cheese on medium-high speed in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or in a large bowl if using a hand mixer) until completely smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the sour cream, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and a pinch of salt, and beat on medium high speed until incorporated and smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Microwave the gelatin until melted, stirring as needed, about 30 seconds. Add the gelatin to the cream cheese mixture, and beat on medium high speed to combine, about 30 seconds.
  • To assemble: Pour the cream cheese-gelatin mixture over the cooled crispy layer, and spread out evenly. Wrap the pan loosely with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until the cheesecake layer is set, about 2 hours. (The bars can be assembled and refrigerated overnight.) Cut into 16 bars, and top each with raspberries and blueberries before serving.

DELUXE DOUBLE LAYER CHEESECAKE



Deluxe Double Layer Cheesecake image

Great Grandma Rush's Cheesecake recipe. This recipe includes making the graham cracker crust, and the two layer cheesecake. I use 1-gallon ziplock and my rolling pin to crush the graham crackers. I also use real lemon for the lemon juice. This recipe was designed for a springform pan, if using glass pie plates this usually can be made into two cakes. Servings vary based on how large you cut the slices.

Categories     dessert

Time 5h10m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (from about 9 graham cracker sheets)
1/2 cup sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Pinch kosher salt
Two 8-ounce blocks cream cheese, at room temperature

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup blackberry jam, warmed until liquidy
1/2 cup raspberry jam, warmed until liquidy

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Stir together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter and salt in a bowl. Press into an even layer in the bottom of the pan. Bake the crust until set, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.

  • For the topping: Cut the cheesecake into 12 bars. Coat a straw or a chopstick with cooking spray. Press down in the center of each bar to form a space for the jam, cleaning after each use. Pipe the jams alternately into the center of each bar, then drizzle with the melted white chocolate.
