Raspberry-White Chocolate Cheesecake Cookie Bars image

When it comes to choosing which desserts I'm going to add to my arsenal of recipes, I almost always stick to the unfussy classics -- cakes, cookies, bars, and, in this case, cheesecake cookie bars! This recipe blends the dense, pan-baked goodness of a bar with layers of cheesecake and cookie dough that are dotted with white chocolate and fresh raspberries. There is no bake-off or bake sale that you can't win with these.

Time 3h35m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup (2 sticks/225 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup (110 g) brown sugar
1 1/2 cups (300 g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups (315 g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/4 cups (205 g) white chocolate chips
1 cup (125 g) fresh raspberries
8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • To make the cookie layer: In a stand mixer, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 3 minutes, until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla and continue to mix, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder and mix on low speed until the ingredients are incorporated. Fold in 1 cup (165 g) of the white chocolate chips.
  • To make the cheesecake layer: In a food processor, combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla and mix for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until the ingredients are evenly combined and the mixture is very smooth.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9 by 13-inch (23 by 33-cm) baking pan with parchment paper with a little hanging over the sides. Press slightly more than half of the cookie dough mixture into the bottom of the pan to make one even layer. Spread the cheesecake mixture on top of the cookie dough. Crumble the remaining cookie dough and sprinkle it on top of the cheesecake mixture, then sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup (40 g) white chocolate chips and the raspberries.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the cookie dough is golden brown. Remove the bars from the oven and let cool for 30 minutes. Transfer them to the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight if time allows (don?t skip this part). Cut into bars and serve.

LEMON-RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE BARS



Lemon-Raspberry Cheesecake Bars image

Categories     Desserts     Fruit Dessert Recipes     Raspberry Dessert Recipes

Time 4h15m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cooking spray (such as Pam®)
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch chunks
¾ cup seedless raspberry preserves
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 tablespoons lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (6 ounce) container fresh raspberries, cut in half lengthwise

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, allowing some to extend over the edges. Spray foil with cooking spray to keep the filling from sticking to the sides. You'll use the overhang to lift the bars from the pan to cut them.
  • Process flour, brown sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor until blended. Add cold butter chunks and process until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Pour crust mixture into the prepared pan, shake it a bit to help even out the mixture, and press down gently with fingertips. Use a smaller pan, such as 8x8-inch, to press down the entire surface so the crust is smooth and tight.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  • While the crust cools, heat jam in a microwave-safe bowl in a microwave just until warm, 30 to 60 seconds; stir until smooth.
  • Beat cream cheese with an electric stand mixer for 1 minute; add sugar and flour and beat until well blended. With mixture running, add egg, egg yolk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.
  • Spread jam evenly over the cooled crust. Place raspberries, cut-side down, evenly over jam. Pour cream cheese mixture over berries and gently smooth mixture until it covers the entire pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven just until set, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool for 1 hour at room temperature, then place in the refrigerator to cool for another 2 hours.
  • Gently lift cooled cheesecake from the baking pan using the foil overhang. Place on a cutting board, peel back edges of foil, and cut into 24 bars.

WHITE CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE BARS



White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bars image

In the US, white chocolate must contain at least 20 percent cocoa butter. But for better flavor, look for something with an even higher percentage. Avoid white chocolate with fillers like oil and artificial flavor. A good white chocolate has a gorgeous milky flavor with a floral essence that can evoke both cocoa and vanilla.

Provided by Samantha Seneviratne

Categories     dessert

Time 8h15m

Yield 18 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 pound cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup sugar
Pinch kosher salt
7 ounces good-quality white chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup raspberry jam, seeds strained out

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides.
  • Add the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt to the prepared baking pan and toss with a fork to combine. Add the butter and toss until evenly moistened. Spread the crumb mixture out and pat down to an even layer.
  • Bake until the crust is toasted and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely. Lower the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
  • For the cheesecake: In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugar and salt until fluffy and smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in the white chocolate until well combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, just until combined; do not overmix once you've added the eggs. Transfer the cream cheese mixture to the cooled crust and spread out to an even layer.
  • Drop the raspberry jam in dollops all over the top of the cheesecake. Then, using a toothpick, swirl the jam and the cheesecake batter decoratively.
  • Bake until the cheesecake is set about 2 inches around the edges but is still a bit jiggly in the center, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool for about an hour, then wrap with plastic and refrigerate until completely cold, at least 6 hours.
  • Use the parchment to lift the cheesecake onto a cutting board and cut into pieces to serve.

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 whole graham crackers, finely ground
1 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp melted butter
filling
2 pkg 8 oz - reduced fat cream cheese, at room temperature
1 pkg 8 oz - fat-free cream cheese, at room temperature

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality cream cheese for the best results. A full-fat cream cheese will give the cheesecake bars a richer flavour and a creamier texture.
  • Make sure the butter is cold before adding it to the crust mixture. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming greasy.
  • Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan. This will help to ensure that the crust is evenly baked and that it doesn't crumble.
  • Bake the cheesecake bars until the center is just set. Overbaking will cause the cheesecake bars to become dry and crumbly.
  • Chill the cheesecake bars for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help to allow the cheesecake to set properly and to develop its full flavour.

Conclusion:

Raspberry cheesecake bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a creamy, tangy cheesecake filling and a sweet, tart raspberry topping, these cheesecake bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give raspberry cheesecake bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
