  • Pour into ready made crust.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.

My mother often made this lovely fruit-topped cheese-cake. Now our grown sons consider it my "signature dessert". Sometimes, I bake and freeze the cheesecake ahead. On the day I serve it, I thaw it, then add the fruit. -Christine Eilerts Tulsa, Oklahoma

CHERRY CHEESECAKE BARS



Cherry Cheesecake Bars image

These are delicious, I have made this and everyone really enjoys it, I think you will too..it is not a dense heavy cheesecake, but more on the light and fluffy side. I have even substituted blueberry pie filling for the cherry. I use two large cans of pie filling, but one can might be suitable, if you prefer a thick topping then use two cans. Remember to chill this cheesecake for 6 or more hours, overnight is even better! Prep time includes chilling time.

Time 7h

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup flour
1 cup shredded flaked coconut
1/2 cup firmly-packed brown sugar
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
3/4 cup cold butter or 3/4 cup margarine
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or 1/2 cup pecans
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 eggs
3 cups cherry pie filling

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees.
  • Set oven rack to the second lowest position.
  • Grease a 13x9-inch or an 11x7-inch pan (the cheesecake mixture will be higher if made in the 11x7-inch pan, but will bake out just as well, I actually prefer to bake the cheesecake in that size pan) baking pan.
  • In a medium size bowl, mix the flour and brown sugar until blended.
  • Cut in the 1 cup butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs (I do mine on the food processor).
  • Add/mix in coconut, oats and chopped pecans or walnuts; stir until well mixed.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of prepared baking dish (this might be a bit "fiddly" as the mixture will be very crumbley, don't worry if there are small areas in the pan that you did not cover, it will all spread out when baking).
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until crust is lightly browned.
  • Cool on wire rack for 10-15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, to make the topping, in another bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, eggs, vanilla and lemon peel with an electric mixer until blended and smooth (about 5 minutes).
  • Pour over crust, and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until center is set.
  • Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
  • Spread with fruit filling over cooled cheesecake.
  • Cover pan and refrigerate for a minumum of 6 hours (or overnight).
  • Cut into 18 bars.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cream cheese for a smooth and creamy cheesecake filling.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help it blend smoothly and avoid lumps.
  • Use fresh cherries for the best flavor. If using frozen cherries, thaw them completely before using.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips in the crust.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • Let the cheesecake bars cool completely before serving. This will help them set and firm up.

Conclusion:

These cherry cheesecake bars are the perfect dessert for any occasion. They're easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give these bars a try.
