Impress guests with decadent raspberry cheesecake bars made with chocolate wafer cookies - a stunning baked treat.
Ingredients:
  • 24 thin chocolate wafer cookies, crushed (1 1/2 cups crumbs)
  • 6 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
  • 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/3 cup seedless red raspberry jam
  • 20 fresh raspberries
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Line an 8-inch square pan with foil, leaving 1-inch overhang on 2 opposite sides, and spray with cooking spray.
  • Combine cookie crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl, then press mixture into pan. Bake for 12 minutes, followed by cooling for 15 minutes.
  • In a separate medium bowl, use an electric mixer to blend cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until combined. Stir in flour and almond extract. Pour over the cooled crust. Spoon jam over the batter by teaspoonfuls and swirl through with a knife for a marbled effect.
  • Bake until firm, for 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool on a rack for about an hour. Use foil to easily lift out of the pan. Cut into 5 rows by 4 rows, then garnish each bar with a raspberry. Store in the refrigerator.
