Lemon Cheesecake Squares
It's possible for a gourmet dessert bar to be light on the palette while also being incredibly rich. The delightful tartness of the lemon curd in these Lemon Cheesecake Squares provides a delicious balance with the rich, sweet vanilla cheesecake and the buttery shortbread crust. The sweet crumble top adds richness to this gourmet dessert, and makes for a gorgeous presentation, making this an individual gourmet dessert that satisfies all the senses.
These lemon cheesecake dessert bars are a refreshing end to a gourmet meal, or make for a decadent afternoon treat. For a dessert table for a large gathering, add our lovely Cupcakes in Bloom or irresistible Sweetheart Macarons. Or for chocolate lovers, there's our Chocolate Nostalgia Cake. The possibilities are endless.
