Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter with flour, powdered sugar, and ground almonds. Mix until crumbly. Press into the bottom of 13x9 baking dish.
- Spread the strawberry preserves into the bottom of the crust, being careful not to touch the sides of the pan.
- In a small mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar and almond extract until smooth. Spoon it into a pastry bag (I used tip 48) and make diagonal lines onto the top of the strawberry preserves. Sprinkle with sliced almonds.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes, until crust is lightly browned. Cool completely. Refrigerate until ready to serve. ENJOY!
Notes
- You can lightly wet your fingertips with water to help you press the crumbly crust into the pan without it sticking to you.
- Full-fat cream cheese will give you the best flavor for the cheesecake topping. It also helps to use the cream cheese that comes in blocks, not tubs.
- Toast the nuts for the top of the bars prior to using for extra flavor.
- A plastic disposable knife can help you cut the bars and get clean lines. A regular knife works too, but you might need to wipe it between cuts to get the clean lines.
- Bars should be stored, covered, in the refrigerator. They will keep for 3-4 days. They taste great cold straight from the fridge!
