Savor the zesty twist of Lemon Marbled Cheesecake Bars Each bite offers a creamy dreamy dessert experience thats simply unforgettable
Ingredients
Scale
1 and ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs
⅓ cup of sugar for the crust
⅓ cup of melted butter
16 oz of softened cream cheese
½ cup of sugar for the filling
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
⅓ cup of sour cream
Zest of 2 lemons
¼ cup of fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a parchment-lined 9×9-inch baking dish. Bake for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add in the sugar, and mix until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, sour cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice until everything is nicely blended.
Pour half of the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust. Then, scoop dollops of the remaining cheesecake mixture back and forth across the layer. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl gently.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Allow it to cool at room temperature for a while, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
Carefully lift the bars from the baking dish using the parchment paper. Slice into squares, and serve with whipped cream and fresh fruit, if desired.
Notes
A delightful blend of creamy cheesecake with zesty lemon that tantalizes the taste buds and brings sunshine to any table.
