Strawberry Cheesecake Bars PT105M https://img5.recipesrun.com/201907/2019/0801/31/2/443166/300x200x90.jpg Great for picnics or potlucks, these portable cheesecake bars incorporate cooked berries directly into the custard, which means they take on a rosy hue. You can even add a few drops of red food coloring if you want to make up for out-of-season berries, which are less vibrantly colored, or if you just want a livelier result. Feel free to use frozen berries in place of fresh, though you’ll need to thaw them fully before beginning the process. 15 servings Ingredients: 3/4 pound Strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced 1/2 cup Confectioners’ sugar 1 1/4 cups Heavy cream Red food coloring, as needed 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract 5 Large eggs, at room temperature 3 packages Cream cheese, at room temperature 1 1/2 cups Granulated sugar 4 cups Strawberries, hulled and halved 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted 1/2 teaspoon Fine sea salt 300 g Shortbread cookies
