Cheesecake Bars with Lime-Glazed Kiwi Garnish
Ingredients
- Crust2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 Tbs sugar
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- Filling2 8 oz packages cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 Tbs lime juice
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 eggs
- Topping1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 Tbs lime juice
- 3 kiwis, quartered and sliced
Directions
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Press into a 13 x 9 casserole dish lined with foil. (For easy removal of the bars, leave an inch or two of foil hanging over the ends of the dish.)
- Bake at 350°F for 6 to 8 minutes until golden and set. Cool.
- While the crust cools, beat the cream cheese in a mixing bowl until creamy. Add sugar, lime juice, and vanilla. Beat an additional 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs until combined. Pour on top of cooled crust.
- Bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes, until edges are lightly browned and filling is set. It will firm up as it cools. Cool on a wire rack and then move to the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before cutting.
- Shortly before cutting the bars, combine sugar, water, and lime juice in a small pot. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat. Cook until slightly thick and syrupy, stirring often. Remove from heat and stir in kiwi pieces.
- Remove the bars from the casserole dish and cut into squares. Garnish each square with a spoonful of the kiwi. Serve and enjoy. Store leftovers in the fridge.
