It\u2019s no secret that\u00a0cheesecake recipes<\/a>\u00a0are some of my very favorite recipes to make.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s making my\u00a0pumpkin cheesecake<\/a>\u00a0for Thanksgiving or my\u00a0nana\u2019s easy cheesecake<\/a>\u00a0for a party, I love it all.\u00a0<\/p>\n

These cherry cheesecake bars combine two of my favorite things:\u00a0cherry cheesecake<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0bar desserts<\/a>. They\u2019re perfect for sharing with neighbors, taking to a cookout, or enjoying for a special brunch treat.<\/p>\n

Why you\u2019ll love these cherry cheesecake bars<\/h2>\n

You know I love layered desserts.\u00a0Cookie dough cheesecake bars<\/a>,\u00a0layered pistachio pudding dessert<\/a>,\u00a0brownie trifle<\/a>\u2026I love layers of flavor and texture in my desserts.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019ve got here in these cherry cheesecake bars.<\/p>\n

We start with a buttery crust made with oats, which adds a fantastic depth of flavor. Then there\u2019s the cheesecake layer, with a touch of almond extract to make it special.<\/p>\n

Cherry preserves get swirled into the cheesecake filling, and then the whole thing gets topped off with more of the crust mixture, which is great. The oats really give it some texture and crunch.<\/p>\n

This recipe makes one 8\u00d78-inch pan\u20149 large servings or 12 small ones. That\u2019s just enough for a family dinner and snack the next day, without days worth of leftovers.<\/p>\n

And yeah, technically these cheesecake bars are\u00a0supposed<\/em>\u00a0to be dessert. But honestly, the crumb topping totally makes them acceptable to serve at brunch, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how it works, right??<\/p>\n
