CHEESECAKE BARS

I become slightly obsessed with fresh berries in any form this time of year…don’t you? And what could be better than fresh berries in delicious Cheesecake Bars? These are pretty darn tasty! I used fresh blueberries and fresh raspberries, but frozen berries will work just as well and are sometimes easier to find! But the best part of these lemon cheesecake bars is the crumble streusel topping!
