CREAMY LEMON CHEESECAKE



Creamy Lemon Cheesecake image

My friend Gwen gave me this creamy, lip-smacking recipe, and it's been a crowd-pleaser at my house ever since. The homemade lemon curd on top adds a tart, special touch! The cake can also be made in three store-bought graham cracker pie shells. -Anne Henry, Toronto, Ontario

LEMON CHEESECAKE BARS



Lemon Cheesecake Bars image

These creamy lemon cheesecake bars have a smoother texture than the usual custard texture of a boxed lemon bar mix. I just about died when I had them the first time. A good friend made them for another friend's birthday. I immediately asked her for the recipe as my Christmas present. She courteously obliged. They are the best!

CREAMY LEMON CHEESECAKE BARS



Creamy Lemon Cheesecake Bars image

This bakes out to the perfect texture, and is light as a cloud, I have made this using a vanilla cookie crumb crust also. Although I have not tried it as yet, but I am thinking this might be good using oranges too. This needs to chill for about 5 hours before serving, so plan ahead. I always add in some white sugar to the cream cheese mixture for a sweeter taste, but that is optional.

BLUEBERRY LEMON CHEESECAKE BARS



Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake Bars image

A tasty blueberry lemon cheesecake bar.

Provided by GWNYVERE

Categories     Desserts     Cookies     Bar Cookie Recipes     Cheesecake Bar Recipes

Time 4h40m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ (14.4 ounce) package graham crackers, coarsely broken
3 tablespoons white sugar
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
¾ cup white sugar
3 medium lemons, zested and juiced
3 large eggs
2 ½ cups fresh blueberries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease the bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan. Place parchment paper over the top of the pan and press down at the corners so you have a slight overhang.
  • Combine graham crackers, sugar, and cinnamon for crust in the bowl of a food processor; process until combined and has the consistency of bread crumbs. Pour melted butter in slowly and pulse a couple of times to fully incorporate; the mixture will look like wet sand. Scrape into the prepared baking pan and pat firmly with the bottom of a glass.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 12 minutes.
  • Combine cream cheese, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice for filling in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time, blending to combine between each addition; process until smooth.
  • Remove crust from the oven. Pour filling on top and sprinkle evenly with blueberries; they will sink slightly into the filling, this is okay.
  • Bake until filling is mostly set and only slightly jiggly in the center, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours.
  • Remove from the pan using the parchment lining and slice into 12 bars.
