• Sprinkle on the white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, walnuts, cranberries, and coconut.
• Mix together the heavy cream, sweetener, and egg very well. It is easiest to just do this in a blender. Drizzle over the toppings.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and only slightly jiggly.
• Chill for at least 2-3 hours before cutting. This really needs to be chilled to firm up before cutting.

WHITE CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE BARS

Steps:

• The raspberry sauce must cool down completely before using, so I recommend making it first. Mix 1 teaspoon water with 1 teaspoon cornstarch in a very small bowl. Set aside. Combine raspberries, granulated sugar, and remaining 1 teaspoon of water together in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture as it begins to cook, breaking up some of the raspberries as you stir. Once simmering, add the cornstarch mixture. Continue to stir and allow to simmer for 3 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and press through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds. Allow the thin raspberry sauce to cool completely before using. Cover and store for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line the bottom and sides of a 9-inch square baking pan (8-inch is too small) with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished bars out (makes cutting easier!). Set aside.
• In a food processor or blender, pulse the whole Oreos into a fine crumb-you should get about 2 cups of crumbs. Stir the cookie crumbs and melted butter together in a medium size bowl. Press tightly into the bottom of the lined baking pan. Pre-bake for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. Leave oven on.
• Melt the chopped white chocolate in a double boiler or the microwave. If using the microwave: place the white chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl. Melt in 20 second increments in the microwave, stirring after each increment until completely melted and smooth. Let the warm chocolate cool as you work on the other cheesecake filling ingredients. You can place it in the refrigerator, but just don't let it solidify!
• Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed in a large bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the flour, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt, then beat until fully combined. On medium speed, add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until just blended. After the 2nd egg is incorporated into the batter, stop mixing. A few small lumps can remain. Pour in the cooled (but still liquid) white chocolate. Beat on low speed just until combined.
• Pour half of the cheesecake filling onto the crust. It's ok if the crust is still slightly warm. Drizzle half of the raspberry sauce all over the top. Spread remaining cheesecake filling on top. (It's ok if the raspberry sauce has spread to the sides or slightly incorporates into the top layer of cheesecake.) Drizzle remaining raspberry sauce on top, then use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl everything together.
• Bake for 32-36 minutes or until the cheesecake appears set on top and the edges are lightly browned. The bars will be puffy, but will sink slightly down as they cool. Place pan on a wire rack. Cool for 45 minutes at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours (and up to 1 day) before slicing. If you plan to chill the bars for longer, loosely cover with aluminum foil after 3 hours of chilling.
• To slice, lift the bars out of the pan as a whole using the parchment overhang on the sides. Cut into squares with a sharp knife. For extra neat squares, wipe the knife clean between each cut.
• Cover and store leftover cheesecake bars in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

• Bake in preheated oven until crusty and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• Sprinkle chocolate chips over the crust.
• Beat eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest together until the eggs are beaten. Stir remaining 1/4 cup flour and 3/4 cup sugar into the egg mixture; pour over the chocolate chips and crust.
• Bake until set in the middle, about 15 minutes more. Cool slightly in baking dish set on a wire cooling rack. Sift confectioners' sugar over the bars and cool completely before cutting to serve.

SKINNY CHOCOLATE CARAMEL SEVEN LAYER BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F, and coat a 9"-square pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Break the graham crackers into pieces, and add to a food processor or blender. Pulse until they resemble fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl, and add the egg whites. Mix together until fully incorporated. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Sprinkle the coconut, chocolate chips, pecans, and diced caramel squares over the graham cracker crust in that order. In a small bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, Greek yogurt, and Truvia. Drizzled over the top.
• Bake at 350°F for 18-20 minutes. Cool completely to room temperature, and allow the bars to set once they reach room temperature for at least 3 hours before slicing into squares.
