Sopapilla Cheesecake Bars

I teased this Sopapilla Cheesecake Bars on Insta this Summer and it’s just one of those recipes I need you to have!

Sopapilla Cheesecake Bars come from my original blog and is one of the first recipes I ever posted about. Looking back at this OG post, I chuckle at the terrible pictures but also remember how eager I was to write it up because this recipe was just so. dang. good. There’s just something about a creamy filling. But the outer pastry, that tastes like a fried dough but without all the mess, houses the slightly crunchy cinnamon sugar topping, melted butter, and honey like it’ll never let go. Making each bite completely decadent and so delicious.

Not only are these bars extremely addicting, they’re also so easy. I typically steer away from store bought pie crusts, breads, etc, but just trust me on this one. Taste is not sacrificed and sometimes you just need something quick and dirty. That’s this recipe. Minus the dirty.

I’d love to know if you try these bars, so don’t forget to tag me on social. Happy baking!
