Another one of my dad’s dee-licious dessert concoctions! An easy shortbread crust with cheesecake-like batter, topped with a tangy apricot spread. I call this recipe "bars," my dad calls it "pie," neither is really correct. But, for lack of a better description, I’ll have to stick with what we’ve got…
Ingredients
- 16 ounces shortbread cookies
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup finely chopped dried apricots
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup apricot preserves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Process shortbread cookies in the bowl of a food processor until finely ground. Press into a 9×13-inch baking pan.
Step 3
Beat eggs and sugar together in a bowl. Add ricotta cheese, cream cheese, and vanilla extract. Mix well. Stir in apricots and spread over crust.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until puffed up and the edges are slightly brown, about 40 minutes.
Step 5
Meanwhile, combine sour cream and apricot jam in a bowl. Set aside.
Step 6
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and spread jam topping on top while still hot. Chill until set, 1 to 2 hours. Cut into 24 bars.
