No Bake Cheesecake Party Bar

Dessert bars are a great summer party idea; there is the ice cream sundae bar, the pie bar, candy bar, and cake bar. Our fun version of this dessert bar includes our no-bake cheesecake blends with fun toppings and additions so that everyone can create their own favorite custom desserts.  Small dessert glasses are great for serving so that people can try several combinations without filling up too quickly.

One prepared cheesecake package will serve 4 to 5 people. Some of our favorites include Lemon Raspberry, Double Chocolate, Lemon Drop and Sea Salted Caramel.

BASIC RECIPE

1 package Halladay’s Harvest Barn Cheesecake Mix

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

1 (8 oz) container Cool Whip, defrosted

CREAMY RECIPE

Substitute one pint of chilled whipping cream for cool whip. Beat together cheesecake mix, softened cream cheese and whipping cream until mixture is light and fluffy. Put in decorative bowl; chill until ready to serve.
