These cranberry-orange cheesecake bars are a favorite around the holidays or any time of the year!
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 6 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Combine butter and brown sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Stir in flour and walnuts until crumbly. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.
Step 4
Meanwhile, combine cream cheese and white sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add cranberries, orange juice, eggs, orange zest, and vanilla extract, mix until well combined. Spread cream cheese filling onto cooled crust.
Step 5
Bake until surface of cheesecake is firm except for a small spot in the center that will jiggle when the pan is gently shaken, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack, and allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature, about 1 hour. Refrigerate until completely chilled, 4 hours to overnight.
Step 6
Cut into 12 bars and serve.
