Don’t these White Chocolate Lemon Cheesecake Bars just look happy? I loved taking these pictures because of the bright colors!

I keep on wanting to say that these are great summer-themed bars, but then I remember that here in Vegas, those summer months hit a little sooner than they do in the rest of the country. I’ll still take that over not having a real winter, though ;)

These bars initially make your think you’re biting into a lemon bar, but then you get that creamy and sweet notes from the cheesecake and dang, it is a winning combination for sure!

Ingredients

2 cups vanilla-flavored cookies of your choice (I used 25 Golden Oreo Sandwich cookies, just took the filling out)
5 Tbsp butter, melted
4 Tbsp Sugar
2 8oz bricks of Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla
2 Tbsp Yogurt or Sour Cream
2 Tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
Zest of 1 lemon
1-2 drops of yellow food coloring (optional)
1/4 cup white chocolate chips, melted

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, then crush your 2 cups of vanilla-flavored cookies, and combine them with 5 tablespoons of melted butter and 4 tablespoons of sugar. Press it into a 9x9 pan lined with parchment paper and then greased. Bake for 5 minutes.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the 2 bricks of softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup of sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Next, mix in and combine 2 eggs, 1 tsp of vanilla, and 2 tbsp of yogurt or sour cream.
When it's all combined, take 1/4 cup of the cheesecake mixture and put in a separate small bowl.
Into that bowl, mix in the 2 tbsp of Lemon Juice, zest of 1 lemon, and yellow food coloring, (if using).
Pour the rest of the mixture over your crust, then pour the lemon mixture in a zig zag pattern across your cheesecake filling.
In the microwave, melt 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips, and pour over your lemon cheesecake filling, making an opposite pattern of the zig zag you would made with the lemon. Then take a toothpick to combine the two.
Bake for 25-28 minutes, until there's only a slight jiggle. Let cool for at least two hours, then enjoy!

Absolutely awesome! I used dare lemon cookies & whipped them in the food processor, and baked for 15 min. I used 1/2 the batter instead of 1/4 - I wanted that complete lemon flavour! It turned out absolutely fantastic!! So yummy!!! Thank you so much xox
