lemon curd cheesecake bars

April 1, 2019 by Lovoni | 3 Comments

Get ready for your next favorite dessert & one you’ll want to make all spring & summer long – Lemon Curd Cheesecake Bars – a buttery cookie base, vanilla cheesecake with lemon curd swirled throughout. This is the most heavenly cheesecake ever – cut into bars. We’ve taken two favorite desserts – lemon bars & cheesecake & made them one.

Cheesecake cooked in a rectangular baking pan means it cuts easily into bars making it perfect for sharing & feeding a larger group.

This recipe has been in the Fresh Hunger vault for years & finally it’s time to share. Like all cheesecake recipes – this is make ahead. If you don’t feel like making your own lemon curd, then buy a good quality one from the store – just stay away from the artificially flavored, fluorescent kind. Homemade is always best & lemon curd isn’t difficult to make so give it a crack. The results are worth it.

Lemon Curd Cheesecake Bars

You’ll need a 9 x 12 inch baking pan & parchment paper for this recipe. Make the lemon curd the day before or buy a good quality lemon curd from the store.

Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American, Australian
Author: Lovoni

Ingredients

LEMON CURD
  • 1/2 cup butter cubed
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
BASE
  • 11 oz box plain vanilla cookies
  • 3/4 cup melted butter
FILLING
  • 3 x 8 oz packages cream cheese softened
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

To make the lemon curd:

  • Pace butter, sugar & juice in a medium saucepan. Whisk over low heat until the butter is melted & sugar is dissolved; remove from heat. Vigorously whisk in eggs. Whisk constantly over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until thickened; strain through a fine sieve. Pour into sterilized jar; seal with sterilized lids. Chill for 8 hours or overnight until cold. Cover & chill until completely cooled.

To make the base:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and line a 9 x 13-inch (23 x 33cm) baking pan with parchment (baking) paper. In a food processor, process cookies & butter until fine crumbs. Press over base of pan (a flat bottom glass works good for this); chill until ready to use.

To make the filling:

  • In a food processor, process all ingredients until completely smooth; spread over crumb base. Dollop lemon curd over filling & carefully swirl through the filling using a flat-bladed knife or skewer & being careful not to touch the base. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until set. Let cool before covering & chilling in the fridge for 8 hours or overnight. Cuts into 18 – 24 pieces.

Mine you, we still have a foot of snow in our backyard but this time last week it was more than double that so I’ll take this. Only 20+ days until spring. Hang in there!

Oxtail in Red Wine: when I first added this to my Oxtail in Red Wine: when I first added this to my website & shared it on Pinterest, I almost blew up my Pinterest account. It was so popular. I was shocked. Really I made it for my husband a couple of times and the recipe was so nice I had to share. I thought here the words “ox tail” might turn people away. I was wrong, quite the opposite. Nowadays it’s beef tail not ox because oxen numbers, as far as I’m aware, have been on the decline and is the reason for beef tails being used but they’re still referred to as ox tail.

Butterscotch Pudding for our endless winter 😂. Butterscotch Pudding for our endless winter 😂. Have you ever made a self-saucing pudding before? It’s so easy & so good.

A true comfort dessert that reminds me of when I was a little girl.
