Family Cheesecake Squares image

Though these squares may sound time-consuming to make, they're actually easy. The hardest part is waiting for them to cool so you can gobble them up! This recipe's been in our family for years, I like serving the squares at room temperature, but they're good cold, too. They're delicious topped with strawberries or cherry pie filling. I'm a "homebody" who enjoys any kind of cooking (for 5 years, I've been baking once a week for my husband's group at work). We have five children and three grandchildren.

I'm not a huge fan of cheesecake, but these cheesecake squares were really good. The crust was flaky and the cheesecake was creamy and flavorful. I would definitely make them again.
