Blackberry Cheesecake Squares ~ Foodiya

I love cheesecake, but rather than go the traditional, predictable Springform pan route, I sometimes like to bake them in a rectangular pan and cut them into squares. It’s easier to cut and easier to serve, which means it’s easier to eat, which is always a plus in my book. It also makes these perfect for a potluck dinner, or any place you need to take a portable dessert!

Here’s how I made the little delights.

First, make a simple crust! Throw some graham crackers (or, as I used when I made these on my cooking show, vanilla wafers—either one is delicious) into the bowl of a food processor…

Then use a long, serrated knife to slice it into large strips, then into squares. To keep things from getting too messy, I have a damp washcloth handy and wipe the knife clean after each cut.

Glorious!
