    How to Make Layered Lemon Cheesecake Bars 

    Pudding Layer

    We used Comstock pre-made lemon pudding pie filling from the can to get truly homemade taste and quality.  Plus, it's super easy, because it's already made, so one less step if you go down this route.  You can also use instant lemon pudding or use your favorite homemade lemon pudding or lemon curd. 

    It should be thick and creamy whatever pudding you use, so it's easy to layer the fluffy cheesecake on top of our lemon cheesecake bars recipe.

    Cheesecake Layer

    The cheesecake layer consists of cream cheese, whipping cream, lemon pudding and lemon zest.  Whipped up light and fresh, it's amazing!  For the whipping cream, you can substitute it with store-bought whipped cream, like Cool Whip. Make sure you use a whipped cream that is stabilized. 

    Graham Cracker Layer

    The delicious graham cracker crust is made with melted butter, graham cracker crumbs and a little sugar and is nicely pressed into an 8x8 pan. No baking.  For the graham cracker crust, you can also use a pre-made graham cracker pie crust.

      I made these luscious lemon cheesecake bars for my grandson and granddaughter-in-law when they came over Sunday night for dinner and they were a huge hit! My goodness they are an addictive lemony deliciousness!! Of course they took some home with them and I couldn't stop myself from sneaking bites out of what was left! All gone now and I'm looking forward to making them again real soon! Thanks for the recipe, Kim!

      Taking after my mom, next to chocolate, citrus desserts are my favorite. These are so pretty, and yes, no special reason is ever needed for dessert. 🙂 ~Valentina

      Lemon has become a favourite since lockdown and your cheesecake bar hits the nail perfectly with a Graham cracker crust. Smart way to incorporate more of this goodie. The layers look so lovely placed and that picture is inviting.
      Thanks for an amazing recipe.

      If you ask me, nope, I don't need a special reason for dessert - I think it's an obligatory part 🙂 I love lemon desserts, especially this time of the year, and these bars look and sound beautiful; so luscious and refreshing!
