Lemon Cheesecake Bars Recipe

I recently realized that I had an overabundance of lemons. 

I think that I became obsessed with lemons because I love having them on my kitchen countertop. The pop of color adds a lot of brightness and happiness to my kitchen. 

But since I absolutely hate to waste food I knew that I needed to come up with a recipe that used lemons. 

In an effort to save money, I searched my refrigerator and pantry to see what ingredients I had available.

I discovered that I had the ingredients to make Lemon Cheesecake Bars.

I could not wait to make these because I knew that the lemon flavor mixed with the cream cheese was going to be amazing. 

Lemon Cheesecake Bars Ingredients:

• 1 package of graham crackers
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 4-6 tablespoons of melted butter (I used Shamy Honey Butter- Cinnamon & Brown Sugar)
• (2) 8oz packages of cream cheese- softened
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon flour
• Juice from 1 lemon or more if desired
• 1 tablespoon of lemon zest
• 1/2 cup sugar

Lemon Cheesecake Bars Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Press parchment paper into a square pan – I used a 9×6 pan
• Spray with nonstick spray
• Crush your graham crackers into fine crumbs, I crushed in a ziplock bag
• Combine your graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a small bowl.
• Spread evenly over parchment paper
• Bake for 5 minutes

• Let cool
• Prepare cheesecake filling
• Beat cream cheese until smooth
• Add egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, flour, and sugar, mix until smooth
• Pour mixture evenly over the crust
• Bake for 25 minutes
• Sit at room temperature for 20-25 minutes
• Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight
• Add extra zest over bars if desired before serving
