Cherry Cheesecake Bars
I have made this several times now as my family just keep wanting more. It is so easy and straightforward to make. My best go to...

For the cherry filling:

Cherries (frozen or fresh)

300g

Sugar

75g

Pinch of Salt

Water

50ml

Lemon juice

1 tsp

Cornflour

1.5 tbsp

Water

20ml

For the base/topping:

Unsalted Butter

220g

Plain flour

340g

Granulated sugar

200g

Salt

1/4 tsp

Vanilla

1 tsp

For the cheesecake filling:

Full fat cream cheese

230g

Vanilla

1/4 tsp

Step 1 of 4

To make the cherry filling:

place the cherries, sugar, salt and 50ml water in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil until the fruit has softened. In a separate small bowl, mix the lemon juice, cornflour and 20ml water. Add to the cooking cherries and cook for a couple of minutes until the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and leave to cool completely before using.

Step 2 of 4

To make the base:

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Rub all the ingredients together in a large bowl until it resembles damp sand. Press about 2/3 the mixture into a lined 8” square tin and bake in the hot oven for 15 minutes until golden.

Step 3 of 4

While the base is baking, make the cheesecake filling. In a fresh bowl, soften the cream cheese then gradually add in the vanilla and condensed milk, whisking until smooth. 

Step 4 of 4

When the base comes out of the oven, pour over the cheesecake mixture. Dollop the cooled cherry mixture over the top and finally sprinkle over the remaining crumble topping. Return to the oven for 30-35 minutes until the topping is golden and the middle has the tiniest jiggle. Cool in tin and chill before cutting and serving.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Delicious and easy to make This recipe was so easy to follow and the end results were delicious. I didn't use as much sugar as the recipe stated as I don't have a very sweet tooth and the cherries weren't very sharp (next time I will probably cut it down a bit more). Perfect for packed lunches but even better for a bbq on a sunny evening!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cherry 🍒 lover & lover of cheesecakes! Carnation is a brand from my childhood, growing up in Trinidad & Tobago it was a staple in our house. We use to take of the label to save the recipes that were printed. Great to see it is still going strong. I use recipes as a guide and it is rare that I will follow a recipe as written. I tweaked this one too! I used browned butter, soft brown sugar, almond extract, ground almonds in the base, toasted/flaked almonds in the crumble topping. Full fat Mascapone in the filling. I baked the cheesecake filling & crumble topping separately as I didn't want to overbake the cheesecake filling. I love Bakewell tarts- so I thought I would make a ' Bakewell tart style cheesecake '. Absolutely lush😋😋😋

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Omg even first time bakers will be professionals ! I made these for the first time believing that I’d have to tweak the recipe to suit various different recipients next time around, but they all absolutely loved them. The big big plus for me was that they looked as though a professional chef had made them too.
