How to Make Raspberry Cheesecake Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, mixing with a fork until the mixture is crumbly and moistened.
  5. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes.
  7. Let cool for 5 minutes. Spread 3/4 cup raspberry jam evenly over the crust.
  8. In a large bowl, beat together 16 ounces cream cheese (softened), 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest until smooth and creamy.
