Christmas Cherry Cheesecake Bars image

This dessert is so good it seems a shame to have Christmas in the title. This is so good year around. Even though it is cheesecake it does not need to be baked in a cheesecake pan -it can be baked in a pie pan or in a square pan. This is so simple , you will make it often using different fruit each time.

These bars were a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if they were more dense.

I'm not a fan of cherries, so I used raspberries for the topping instead. They were still really good.
