If they're in a funky mood, let them create the tie-dyed cheesecake bars by swirling colorful fruit sauces. Ingredients:
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
3/4 cup cold butter, cubed |
filling: |
1 can (15-1/4 ounces) sliced peaches, drained |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, divided |
1 package (12 ounces) frozen unsweetened strawberries, thawed |
4 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened |
3 eggs |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. In a food processor, process the flour, brown sugar and butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press onto the bottom of a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a blender, combine peaches and 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar; cover and process until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl. Repeat with strawberries and remaining confectioners' sugar; set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the eggs, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Pour over crust. Spoon 1/2 cup peach mixture over the cream cheese layer. Top with 1/2 cup strawberry mixture.
4. With a knife, cut through cream cheese filling to swirl. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars; serve with remaining fruit mixtures if desired. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 2 dozen.
