How To Make strawberry margarita cheesecake bars

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350. Spray 8 inch square pan with cooking spray.
  • 2
    With floured fingers, break up cookie dough into pan; press evenly in bottom of pan to form crust. Bake 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven; cool 10 minutes.
  • 3
    While crust is cooling, in medium bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar with electric mixer on medium to high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time on medium speed until well blended. Add remaining ingredients; beat until smooth, scraping down side of bowl occasionally. Pour cream cheese mixture over cooled baked crust, spread evenly with spatula.
  • 4
    Bake 40-50 minutes or until sides of cheesecake are firmly set but center jiggles slightly, checking doneness at 35 minutes. (Cheesecake center will firm up during cooling.) Cool about 2 hours or until completely cooled. Refrigerate bars at least 5 hours or overnight before serving for best results. With warm wet knife, cut into 4rows by 4 rows. Store in refrigerator.
