Raspberry White Chocolate Cheesecake Shortbread Bars
I was reminded of my Raspberry White Chocolate Shortbread recipe recently and decided to take a new spin on the original winner. Dessert “bars” are so ever popular, as is the love of cheesecake, so I decided to combine them all into one this time. The use of mascarpone, rather than simple cream cheese, provides just…
