Cheesecakes come in many delicious shapes and forms, and Tessa Arias is on a mission of putting cheesecake bars on the map. Her food blog Handle the Heat is filled with countless delicious recipes for this sweet treat, and here are five of our personal favorites.
Strawberry Cheesecake Bars
Most of Arias’ cheesecake bars don’t really resemble the classic recipe, but these no-bake strawberry cheesecake bars are pretty much the closest it gets to the real thing.
Bailey’s Cheesecake Bars
This dessert owes its delicious taste to Bailey’s Irish cream cheesecake filling, chocolate graham cracker crust, and a fudgy chocolate ganache topping.
Salted Caramel Cheesecake Bars
If your idea of a tasty dessert is pretty much anything that contains caramel, these cheesecake bars with ultra-rich and creamy caramel cheesecake filling will rock your world.
