Pineapple Cheesecake is a favorite dessert of mine. Here it is paired with a blondie bar layer creating a delicious duo in one easy dessert.
Pineapple Cheesecake Bars
This Pineapple Cheesecake Blondie Bar recipe is an easy pineapple dessert that covers a lot of bases. The bars have a blondie cookie bar bottom layer, cheesecake middle and simple pineapple topping. The thick blondie layer makes these a bit more sturdy and cookie-like than most cheesecake bars.
A great recipe to use up a stray single block of cream cheese.
Pineapple Cheesecake Blondies would be a nice addition to any dessert table, and pair nicely with both tea and coffee.
Why not make a batch of this fun pineapple cream cheese dessert for a friend!
