An easy cheesecake bar recipe. I made it fruity by adding blueberries and orange zest to the creamy cheesecake mix.

CHEESECAKE BARS WITH BLUEBERRIES AND ORANGE


These cheesecake bars are really light thanks to using both cream cheese and crème fraiche in the cheesecake mixture. The fruity blueberries and orange zest complemented the creamy cheesecake perfectly.

They make the perfect weeknight dessert and keep for up to 3 days in the fridge. Why not bake a batch on Sunday night to keep you going through the week?

TOP TIPS FOR MAKING THE CHEESECAKE BARS


Change the fruit by using raspberries and lemon instead. Strawberries would work well too.

Use ginger biscuits for the base instead of digestives for something a bit different. Ginger biscuits would go really well with raspberry and lemon.

Serve the cheesecake bars with clotted cream for an indulgent dessert.

The cheesecake bars can be frozen for up to 3 months, just pop them into a sealed container to prevent freezer burn.

If using straight away, store the bars in the fridge to ensure they stay firm.

If you wanted to make this into a round cheesecake, use an 18cm springform tin instead of the baking tin specified in the instructions.
