Perfect for parties, special occasions, or simply indulging in a sweet treat, these bars are guaranteed to impress your friends, family, and even yourself!

Ingredients:

  • For the Shortbread Base:
  • - 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • - ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • - ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Cheesecake Filling:
  • - 2 packages (16 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • - ½ cup granulated sugar
  • - 2 eggs
  • - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Cherry Topping:
  • - 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and sugar for the shortbread base. Cut in the cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 3: Press the shortbread mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 4: In another mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5: Pour the cheesecake filling over the partially baked shortbread base, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6: Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and slightly golden around the edges. The center may still be slightly jiggly, but it will firm up as it cools.

Step 7: Remove from the oven and let the cherry cheesecake shortbread bars cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack.

Step 8: Once cooled, refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the bars to firm up.

Step 9: Just before serving, carefully spoon the cherry pie filling over the top of the chilled cheesecake layer, spreading it out evenly.

Step 10: Cut into squares or bars, and serve your delectable Cherry Cheesecake Shortbread Bars to your eagerly awaiting guests.
