Not really anything extraordinary, but over the weekend I made the cheesecake bars featured on Baking Bites. They were quite easy. Much easier than a standard cheesecake. I am not the huge vanilla fan that Baking Bites is, so I did not opt for the vanilla power - just some extract in the cheesecake top. But I found it a bit bland. Not very "cheesy" - you didn't get that cheesecake tang. I threw some random strawberry ice cream topping on mine to jazz it up, but fresh fruit would obviously have been better. I did like the idea of these bars however - may have to experiment. Maybe a graham crust? Maybe incorporate dark chocolate? Sour cream, for more tang? Who knows.
