Best Cheesecake Bars with Graham Cracker Crust

These No Bake Cherry Cheesecake Bars are one of my husband’s favorite recipes! He loves, and I mean LOVES, this cheesecake!! I make them when I want to do something thoughtful for him.

You can get fancy for the sake of a delicious cheesecake, but you can also keep it simple and have the same indulgent experience. These bars have a soft, creamy texture and consistency and they aren’t too sweet or rich. They are just perfect!

You can make them for the 4th of July, too! If you love cheesecake, then I think you’ll love Cheesecake Brownies, Pecan Pie Cheesecake Bars, Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars, Mini Rolo Cheesecakes, and Mini Butterfinger Cheesecakes, too!
