Cranberry Cheesecake Bars
These Cranberry Cheesecake Bars are perfect for the holidays and beyond. Made with an oat crust and filled with a cheesecake layer, cranberry layer, and then topped with an oat crumble, these bars are sweet, tart, and just perfect.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups old fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 cup butter cut into cubes
- 12 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 (16 oz) can cranberry sauce whole
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9x31-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, and brown sugar. Add the butter, and using a pastry cutter or a fork, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside 1 1/2 cups of the mixture. Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- In another bowl, combine the cream cheese and sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and the vanilla extract. Spread the cheesecake mixture over the baked crust.
- In another bowl, combine the cranberry sauce and the cornstarch. Carefully spoon the cranberry mixture over the cheesecake layer. Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture evenly over the top.
- Bake for 40 minutes, or until the bars are set. Once baked, let the bars cool, then cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Cut into bars to serve.
