STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE BARS

Strawberry Cheesecake Bars, golden Oreo crust with a creamy cheesecake filling, and strawberry sauce.

An implausible, summer time-time dessert, you may make those Strawberry Cheesecake Bars time and again. they've the entirety i really like… Oreos, strawberries, cheesecake all in a bit hand held bar!

Yum!!! I realize you're going to love these too, they're sooo ideal for Spring and summer time, I can be making this many many greater times to come back.

They're highly clean too, so score! It’s a hint time ingesting due to the fact everything is made from scratch, however to me, that’s 1/2 the fun. I genuinely love the addition of the Oreos, it is probably my favorite element!
