3-Ingredient Cherry Cheesecake Bars

These 3-Ingredient Cherry Cheesecake Bars are the ultimate shortcut dessert—no eggs, no flour, just pure creamy goodness. Sweetened condensed milk works its magic to create a rich, silky cheesecake texture, while the cherry topping bakes right in for a gorgeous marbled finish. And yes—the parchment “sling” trick makes slicing them into perfect squares super easy.

Cherry Cheesecake Bars

Ingredients:
• 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
• 2 (8 oz) packages cream  cheese, softened
• 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy lifting.
   Tip: Lightly grease the pan first so the parchment stays in place.
2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes). Gradually add sweetened condensed milk and mix until fully combined and glossy.
3. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the pan. Spoon cherry pie filling over the top and gently spread.
   Tip: Swirl lightly with a knife for a marbled look.
4. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
5. Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours (overnight is best).
   Tip: Don’t slice while warm—it needs time to fully set.
6. Lift out using parchment, place on a cutting board, and slice into squares.
   Tip: Wipe your knife between cuts for clean edges.
