Strawberry White Chocolate Cheesecake Bars
I love when simple ingredients can be combined to create something special. In this case, I took a few sweet ingredients in my kitchen pantry and turned it into a delicious, decadent white chocolate cheesecake.
I promise you, these easy cheesecake bars will make you, your guests and your tastebuds happy!
Cheesecake itself is a rich, decadent treat but combining it with white chocolate adds an extra level of elegance to these easy cheesecake bars, without any extra work.
The strawberry jelly adds extra sweetness and flavor to these white chocolate cheesecake bars. I chose strawberry because I think it pairs perfectly with white chocolate (or any chocolate) and it’s one of my favorite fruits to add to a dessert.
For other strawberry desserts, check out Strawberry Salsa Dessert, Strawberry Skillet Bread, Strawberry Buttercream Frosting, and Strawberry Vanilla Ice Cream.
While these Strawberry White Chocolate Cheesecake Bars are surprisingly simple to make, they are a dessert you need to think about and prepare ahead of time. The cheesecake bars come together quickly but need to bake for at least half an hour and then refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours to cool and set.
Strawberry White Chocolate Cheesecake Bars are an ideal dessert to prepare the night before, which I think I even prefer because then I don’t have to worry about preparing dessert alongside dinner, I can just pull it out of the fridge and it’s ready to go.
If you’re looking for a simple but decadent dessert, definitely give these Strawberry White Chocolate Cheesecake Bars a try!
