Accompany your afternoon sweet tea with rich Raspberry Cheesecake Bars. Made with “JIFFY” Raspberry Muffin Mix, swirls of raspberry jam and cream cheese.
Yields: 9 - 12 Bars
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 8” square pan.
For crust, combine muffin mix and melted butter. Press in bottom of pan, using a lightly floured spoon or fingers. Set aside.
For filling, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sour cream, powdered sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat until thoroughly combined. Pour over crust, smooth with a spatula.
Stir raspberry jam until smooth. Drop nine dollops of jam on top of cheesecake layer; swirl with a knife, being careful not to go through crust.
Bake 35 – 45 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into cheesecake comes out clean. Remove from oven; cool completely.
For topping, melt white chocolate chips, add oil and blend well. Drizzle over bars.
