Double Lemon Cheesecake Bars

 New Recipe

I haven't tried many new recipes over the last few months for no apparent reason other than I like my basic recipes and winter is usually a soup, comfort food time of year so for I'm venturing out with a few new items.  I made a great Berry Spiral Ham that I posted the recipe earlier today and I also made Double Lemon Cheesecake Bars which were fabulous.  Creamy and with light lemon taste in the body of the cheesecake and a gorgeous lemon topping to die for.  It was a hit at our Brunch.
