Ingredients
Crust
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¼ cup brown sugar 50g
- ½ cup all-purpose flour 60g
- ½ cup rolled oats 70g
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Filling
- ¾ cup fig preserves 240g
- 12 oz. cream cheese softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar 150g
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 4g
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest 3g (about 1 large lemon)
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
Make and bake the crust
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, and spray an 8"x8" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- For the crust, measure out the butter and brown sugar. Beat at a medium speed with an electric mixer until creamed, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the flour, oats and salt to the mixture gradually at a low speed. Mix until just blended, then press onto the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Spoon the preserves onto the hot crust immediately after it comes out of the oven. Spread gently to cover the crust evenly.
Make the filling
- Combine the cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl, beating on a low speed until blended.
- Add the eggs, and mix well. Add the vanilla extract, lemon zest and lemon juice, folding into the batter until smooth. Pour over the fig layer.
- Bake the cheesecake bars for 20-23 minutes or until set. (Depending on how hot your oven runs, it might take a little longer.)
- Remove the pan to cool on a rack and cool to room temperature before cutting into bars.
- Cover and refrigerate, then enjoy!
Notes
- Makes about 16 bars.
