Raspberry Jam Cheesecake Bars image

Got this recipe from a friend who "adapted/adopted" it from Pillsbury. Everyone in our building loves these and I make them a special batch at Christmas and for Valentine's Day.

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 1h30m

Yield 25 bars

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened to room temp
1 cup flour
1 (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened to room temp
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract (I use 1/2 tsp. almond and 1/2 tsp. vanilla, butter and nut extract)
1 large egg
1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam, red

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare an 8 inch square baking pan by spraying it with non stick spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine crust ingredients until well blended.
  • Press into the bottom of the pan and bake for 15-20 minutes (depending on your oven) until the edges are lightly brown.
  • While the crust is baking, combine the filling ingredients in a large bowl and mix until well blended.
  • Remove the crust from the oven and pour the filling over the crust.
  • In a small bowl, heat 1/2 of the 1/4 cup of jam until soft.
  • Carefully spoon the jam over and into the filing without disturbing the crust.
  • Put the pan back in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes longer until filling is set.
  • Cool for 30 minutes.
  • Stir remaining jam until smooth, then spread it evenly over the cooled bars.
  • Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Store leftovers (like you'll have those!) in the refrigerator.

I love that these bars can be made ahead of time. It's so convenient to be able to just pull them out of the fridge and serve them when I need them.

I'm not a big fan of cheesecake, but I really enjoyed these bars. The crust is the perfect balance of crunchy and chewy, and the filling is smooth and creamy.

These bars are a little too rich for my taste. I think I'll try making them with a lower-fat cream cheese next time.

I found the cheesecake filling to be a little too sweet. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

The crust is a little too crumbly for my taste. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

The raspberry jam adds a nice tartness to the cheesecake. It's the perfect balance to the sweetness of the filling.

The crust is the perfect combination of crunchy and buttery. It holds up well to the creamy filling and doesn't get soggy.
