2) In a large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, butter and green food coloring. Stir well to combine. Press into the bottom of prepared baking pan.

3) Beat together cream cheese and sugar. Add eggs, one a time and mix well. Stir in vanilla extract. Pour cream cheese mixture on top of crust.

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.
