White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bars

White Chocolate Cranberry Fudge is one of my favourite holiday desserts, because I LOVE white chocolate. White Toffee Bark anyone? Anyway – this feature recipe is one that shouldn’t surprise anyone! 🙂

While I was making this White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bars recipe I realized that it had been a while since I had made cheesecake. My mouth was watering through each and every step.

Making the combination of white chocolate and raspberry into a cheesecake bar was perfection – this combo is one of my all-time favourites. I think the success of this recipe will entice me to make cheesecake way more often now.

The crust is Oreo based, which excited my kids greatly, so it really is a double chocolate dessert. The cheesecake filling, made with Philadelphia Cream Cheese of course, also has melted white chocolate inside to bring it up a notch.

After making and baking the crust and cheesecake, it’s cooled so it can properly set. Then it’s simply adding a layer of raspberry jam and drizzling more melted white chocolate on top.

It’s actually very simple to make, and I know that sometimes cheesecakes can be finicky. Not this recipe!

This White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bars recipe is said to make 24 bars, yet that all depends how big you cut them. Us? Well, we cut them a bit bigger because they are so good we wanted more.

In other words, perhaps you’ll want to double this recipe. Then you can account for the sneaking of forkfuls from the fridge.

White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bars are sweet and tangy – sinfully delicious, much like my Chocolate Raspberry Tarts recipe. It’s going into my favourite desserts category – yes, it’s that good!
