When I decided to craft a cheesecake bar that captures the essence of summer, I knew that the refreshing flavor of raspberry and lime would be key. I experimented with various crusts and finally settled on a buttery graham cracker base that complements the filling perfectly. The result? Bars that are creamy, tangy, and oh-so-satisfying.

One tip I learned along the way is to use fresh lime juice for the best flavor. It elevates the cheesecake filling and pairs wonderfully with the raspberries. These bars are now a go-to treat for get-togethers, and they always get rave reviews!

Ingredients

For the crust:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar

For the cheesecake filling:

16 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
Zest of 2 limes
1 cup fresh raspberries

Mix the crust ingredients together until well combined.

Instructions

Prepare the crust

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x9-inch baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then allow to cool.

Make the filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in fresh lime juice and zest, then gently fold in the raspberries.

Combine and bake

Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake for 35 minutes or until the center is set. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing into bars.

Enjoy your delicious Raspberry-Lime Cheesecake Bars!

Pro Tips
