Lemon Cream Cheese Bars

Lemon Cheesecake Bars are amazing!  These babies are going to become your favorite lemon bar ever!!

Today’s recipe for Lemon Cheesecake Bars is a favorite of my family and just about everyone who tries it.  It is a not to be missed recipe, so if you like lemon you need to make these bars!

I recently made them for the Tea Party Bridal Shower I hosted. Because every good tea party should have a good lemon bar.  Lemon Cheesecake Bars are not your ordinary lemon bar though. They are something special.  A layer of cheesecake like filling takes these lemon bars far and above your regular old lemon bar.

How to make Lemon Cheesecake Bars

First, you make a shortbread like base.  After baking it, you cover it with a cheesecake layer and bake again.  Next, you add the lemon layer on top.  Pour this layer gently!  As you will see from my photograph I wasn’t gentle and it caused the cheesecake layer to separate.  But they still taste fabulous!

After the final layer is baked give it a nice generous sprinkle of powdered sugar to hide any flaws and just to make it look pretty!

I received this recipe from one of my wonderful blog readers.  When  Rachel shared it with me, she promised me they would become my new favorite lemon recipe.  And boy was she was right.  The cheesecake layer makes for a much creamier and yummier lemon bar!
