Another winner for Teresa. We loved this lemon raspberry bar treat. It was so very good. Just the perfect amount of lemon, cream cheese and sugar, it made the cheesecake shine. It was so very satisfying; light, tender, creamy, decadent and delicious, with a beautiful citrus bite. Thanks for sharing another new favourite. - 2023 - This lovely cheesecake treat has become the neighborhood favourite treat for birthdays. Everyone loves it, I make it at least once a month. Can never thank you enough for sharing.

This recipe is so easy to make. The directions are clear and concise. The flavor of the cheesecake without the berries is so good and then you had the berries and it is delicious. My first favorite recipe of 2021.
