For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the cream cheese filling. Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth and lump-free filling. To prevent the crust from sticking, you can line the baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. When baking the cheesecake, keep an eye on it to prevent the top from browning too quickly. If necessary, you can tent it loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking. For neat slices, use a warm, damp knife to cut the cheesecake bars after they have been thoroughly chilled.

May 30, 2025The crust was a little crumbly, but the flavor was amazing. Next time, I'll try adding a bit more melted butter to the crust mixture.
