Potential changes & improvements
If you want to change up the flavour of these bars, you could try using different fruits such as blueberries, blackberries or strawberries. You could also add a layer of chocolate ganache or a dollop of whipped cream on top. For a richer flavour, you could use dark chocolate digestive biscuits instead of the regular ones.
What other food it works well with
These Raspberry Cheesecake Bars go well with a cup of tea or coffee. They would also be perfect for a dinner party or potluck.
Common Mistakes
One common mistake people make when making these bars is to not let the cream cheese mixture cool completely before adding the eggs. This can cause the eggs to cook in the mixture and you will end up with a cheesecake that is not as smooth and creamy as it should be.
