Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 x 9-inch baking pan with aluminum foil and coat lightly with cooking spray.

  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add milk, flour and extracts; mix well. Add eggs one at a time, beating until well blended after each addition. Pour mixture over crust.

  • Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Lift cheesecake out of pan and onto a cutting board. Cut into equal-sized bars and garnish with raspberries and lemon peel, if desired.
  • Refrigerate leftover bars in a re-sealable container, up to 5 days, or freeze up to 1 month.
  • Enjoy!
