These cheesecake bars are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe next time.

I'm not a fan of ginger, but I still liked these cheesecake bars. The lemon flavor is strong enough to balance out the ginger.

I added some fresh berries to the top of the cheesecake bars before I baked them. They added a nice pop of color and flavor.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used a gluten-free graham cracker crust. The cheesecake bars turned out great!
