When summer hits, it’s time to switch gears and make chilled desserts.
Though these Berry Cheesecake Bars require the oven, it spends 3 hours in the refrigerator to set up and becomes a creamy treat.
The lemon juice and zest are a must.
It balances out the tartness of the raspberries and enhances the blueberry flavor.
Plus, it’s an essential summer ingredient that brightens up any recipe.
And remember to use room temperature cream cheese.
Chilled cream cheese results in a lumpy batter.
If you are short on time, place the cheese in a microwave-safe dish and heat for approximately 30 seconds, just until soft.
Nothing beats a slice of creamy cheesecake bar loaded with summer berries.
I love it that it is painless to make, and the end result is always worth the efforts.
What’s more, it makes a gorgeous looking dessert for your summer parties and get-together.
Enjoy!

I am not sure what I did wrong, I did exactly what I thought the recipe called for, but the cheesecake was to tart, the lemons added a very lemony taste. Almost sour.
Tash
Try using 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice, if too much is used it will come out bitter and use the zest from one lemon.

Hi,
Could you tell me the amount of graham crackers needed if using from a box? In cups, please. Thanks!

Half cup and 2 tablespoons.

HI how many digestive biscuits will I need for the crust? Could you please give me the measurement in grams as we don’t have Graham crackers here in Australia.
Thank you!
Rasa Malaysia
I am sorry but I don’t know for sure without trying out the digestive biscuits.
Tash
You will need 170 grams and you may want to add a pinch of cinnamon to the biscuits.

I found this recipe to be too large for an 8×8 so I used a 7×10.5 . Also crumbled graham crust instead of pressed. DELISH!
Rasa Malaysia
Awesome!
