Drop everything and make these Hawaiian Cheesecake Bars as soon as you can, but be warned, you will have to make sure there are people around to share with or you WILL eat the entire pan. You guys, I’m not even kidding. These are my new favourite bar and I am totally enamoured with them. These are going to be on my Easter dessert table every single year! I’m also thinking of making them for Christmas.
You guys, if you love pineapple and coconut you simply have to make these squares. Oh oh and shortbread! These squares have a decadent, sweet buttery shortbread base as well. Forget cheesecake, forget all other bars, these squares are the love child of both and has all of their best features!
