Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake Bars Recipe

1h total time

Indulge in a decadent, creamy dessert layered with rich chocolate, sweet cherries, and a buttery, vanilla-infused crust.

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
Mix the flour, softened butter, and a pinch of salt until a dough forms, then press it into the bottom of the pan.
Bake the crust for 15 minutes, then let it cool.
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, vanilla extract, and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust.
Top the cream cheese layer with cherries and chocolate chips.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.
