Top Tips for a Perfect St Patrick Cheesecake
Tip: I like the way gel food coloring works. It takes less dye and it doesn’t make everything as wet.
Tip: I find that it is hard for me to find just green sprinkles at my store. It is easier for me to purchase them online. Or these little shamrock sprinkles are adorable.
Tip: If you use parchment paper, the dessert is easier to remove from the pan. I use it for a lot of my desserts, but it can be hard to find at the store. Here is another option to get parchment paper conveniently.
How to Store
When baking a large amount of dessert, there may be leftovers, and this is also the case with these cheesecake bars.
Since these bars have dairy and eggs, they can spoil if not stored appropriately. Best is to refrigerate them and consume them within 3-4 days.

I’m a HUGE cheesecake lover so this recipe is awesome’ I’ve NEVER heard of such…even after years of online hunting! PS…I love Shamrocks too!
This is a great idea! We love cheese cake so I think I am going to make these.
Can Stevie be used in place of the regular sugar?
Hi Tracy! I don’t really have any experience using Stevia in my baking, so I can’t really say.
It looks pretty
Can you make these in a 9×13 pan??
I haven’t, but, yes, I think that would be fine.
Hi Angela. Have you made these without the chocolate graham cracker crumbs? I have a non-chocolate person in my family. Thanks!
Hi Tracy! I have not, but I think regular grahams would be just fine.
This looks so delicious. I love cheesecake.
Mine didn’t turn green, they stayed brown from the chocolate 🙁 Maybe just regular gram-crackers next time so they absorb the color.
I love cheesecake bars and I would put more green sprinkle on mine.
