How to Make White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bars

You’ll need the following ingredients to make this easy recipe:

Instructions and Tips:

Pre heat oven and mix oreo cookie crumbs and margarine together (you can also use melted butter). Press the mixture into the bottom of a square baking pan (prepared pan). I use a 9 inch pan (square pan). You can grease the pan with cooking spray, or line it with parchment paper, for easy removal.

Melt 2 oz. chocolate as directed on package. I place the chocolate into a microwave-safe small bowl and cook in small intervals until just melting, being careful not to burn the chocolate.

Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla into a large bowl, with a mixer until blended. You can use a handheld electric mixer on medium speed or use a bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Add the melted chocolate to the cream cheese mixture and mix well.

Add the eggs one at a time and mix on low speed after each, just until blended. Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust.

Bake the bake raspberry cheesecake bars until the centre is almost set and then cool for 5 minutes. Spread the cheesecake layer with the jam (raspberry mixture), which give it a nice raspberry sauce look. . Then melt the remaining chocolate square and drizzle over cheesecake. Cool cheesecake completely at room temperature, and then refrigerate for at least 4 hours covered with plastic wrap. Cut into bars and enjoy!

Easy Raspberry Cheesecake Bars

These bars have an oreo cookie crust, which excited my kids greatly. It’s way more flavourful than a graham cracker crumbs. So really, this is a double chocolate cheesecake dessert.

The cheesecake filling also has melted white chocolate inside to bring it up a notch. This and the raspberry topping – what a fine cheesecake bars dessert!

These raspberry bars are actually very simple to make, and I know that sometimes a lot of cheesecake recipe can be finicky. Not this recipe! With a bake time of less than a half hour, it’s a quick recipe to make too. For the incredible taste, I love the raspberry swirl look of these bars.

I make this recipe most during the holiday season as a Christmas dessert, though you’ll want to enjoy this easy cheesecake recipe often throughout the year. Add some fresh raspberries, to complete the look and give this elegant recipe more attention.

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.
