Berry Cheesecake Bars
Bite-sized cheesecake with fresh berries and a sweet and creamy filling. This recipe is lovely for the summer because it’s so simple to make.
What are Cheesecake Bars?
These cheesecake bars are the ideal treat to serve chilled when the weather warms up.
Even though these berry cheesecake bars need to be baked, they are set up after three hours in the fridge and become a creamy dessert.
To counteract the tartness of the raspberries, you must use lemon juice or lemon zest. In addition, it’s a must-have summer item that adds a dash of color to every dish.

Ingredients
Crust Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons (25 g) sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon (0.625 mL) ground cinnamon
- 9 sheets graham crackers
Filling Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
- 3/4 cups (110 g) fresh blueberries
- 3/4 cups (110 g) raspberries
- 16 oz. (450 g) cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 lemons, zested and juiced
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Set your oven up to 325°F (160°C).
- Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, and use nonstick spray to coat the paper. Make sure there is ample overhang.
- Blend or mix the crust ingredients in a blender or food processor until they resemble fine sand. Evenly spread the batter in the baking dish by gently patting it down. After baking for 12 minutes, remove the crust to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- The cream cheese, eggs, lemon zest, juice, and sugar should be blended or processed in a food processor before serving. Once it’s cool, pour it over the chilled crust and garnish with berries.
- Allow baking for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven, cool thoroughly, and then chill for three hours. The paper should be used to lift the cheesecake out of the pan. Slice and serve!
Notes
- Pre-freeze the dessert for a few minutes to help with the slicing process.
