How to Make Cranberry Cheesecake Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, and ½ cup packed brown sugar.
- Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in ½ cup white chocolate chips.
- Set aside 2 ½ cups of the crumb mixture for the topping.
- Press the remaining crumb mixture into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a separate bowl, beat 16 ounces cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 cup cranberry sauce and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Mix well.
- Spoon the cranberry mixture over the cream cheese layer, swirling gently with a knife or toothpick for a marbled effect.
- Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the topping is lightly golden brown.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to 1 day) before serving for optimal flavor and texture.
