Vino Cotto (Vincotto) Cheesecake Bars
Time: 20 minutes prep, 50 minutes cook
Servings: 35 Bars
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
- For the crust: Using a fork, mix together all the dry ingredients for the crust into a bowl. Add the melted butter and vino cotto. Thoroughly combine all ingredients.
- Hand press dough evenly into an ungreased 13"x9"x2" pan. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned and firm to the touch.
- For the filling: In a separate bowl, add all the filling ingredients and mix until the batter is smooth. Pour filling over the crust.
- Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until the surface is deep golden brown and feels springy to the touch. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick in the middle of the pan then immediately remove it. The toothpick should come out clean when the cheesecake bars are done.
- Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.
