3-Ingredient Cherry Cheesecake Bars

These 3-Ingredient Cherry Cheesecake Bars are the ultimate shortcut dessert—no eggs, no flour, just pure creamy goodness. Sweetened condensed milk works its magic to create a rich, silky cheesecake texture, while the cherry topping bakes right in for a gorgeous marbled finish. And yes—the parchment “sling” trick makes slicing them into perfect squares super easy.

Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy lifting.
- Tip: Lightly grease the pan first so the parchment stays in place.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes). Gradually add sweetened condensed milk and mix until fully combined and glossy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the pan. Spoon cherry pie filling over the top and gently spread.
- Tip: Swirl lightly with a knife for a marbled look.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
- Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours (overnight is best).
- Tip: Don’t slice while warm—it needs time to fully set.
- Lift out using parchment, place on a cutting board, and slice into squares.
Tip: Wipe your knife between cuts for clean edges.
