Expert Tips

Rise to the occasion! If using self-rising flour, there is no need to add salt.

To ensure recipe success, do not use vegetable oil spreads.

Be a cut above the rest! Use a wet knife to cut cheesecake bars, wiping it clean after each cut.

I used strawberry jam instead of raspberry. They turned out very good. You couldn''t even tell that they were the lighter version. I plan on making these again!
