Cherry Cheesecake Bars are one of the most delicious and easy desserts you will ever make! A crumbly graham cracker crust is filled with creamy cheesecake and topped with cherry pie filling. 

It’s easy to see why cheesecake is one of America’s favorite desserts. Rich, creamy, and indulgent, it’s the perfect way to cap off a meal. These cherry cheesecake bars are the perfect twist on the classic dessert, with a sweet and tart cherry topping that takes them over the top.

Best of all, they’re still simple enough to make for a weeknight dessert. So give them a try – your family will love them!

HOW TO MAKE CHERRY CHEESECAKE BARS

To make these easy and delicious cheesecake bars, you’ll need:

  • Butter
  • Graham cracker crumbs
  • Sugar
  • Cream cheese
  • Powdered sugar 
  • Cool Whip 
  • Cherry pie filling

Gather your ingredients, preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit and follow the instructions below:

steps for making cheesecake

  1. Combine the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, and sugar in a bowl.
  2. Press the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the Cool Whip and beat again.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the cooled graham cracker crust.

Next, you’re going to spread the cherry pie filling on top.

Now, chill for 4 hours before serving. Don’t they look delicious?!

CAN I MAKE THE BARS WITHOUT THE CRUST?

Yes, you can! If you want to save some time, you can skip the crust and just spread the batter into an 8×8-inch baking dish. The bars will be a little bit thinner without the crust, but they will be a bit lower in carbs and still delicious.

CAN I USE SOMETHING OTHER THAN CHERRY PIE FILLING?

Absolutely. Strawberry, apple or blueberry pie filling would be great substitutes for the cherry!

HOW DO YOU STORE CHEESECAKE BARS?

These bars are best stored in an airtight container in the fridge. They will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

CAN YOU FREEZE CHEESECAKE BARS?

Yes, Cherry Cheesecake Bars can be frozen. To freeze the bars, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store them in the freezer for up to two months.

When you’re ready to eat the bars, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
