Peach Cheesecake Cookie Bars. A super easy dessert idea when you don’t want a full cheesecake or freeze them as cookie bars to enjoy a few at a time.

Peach Cheesecake Cookie Bars

Peach Cheesecake Cookie Bars. Mid September and the last of the Niagara summer peaches have slowed to a trickle in our local supermarkets.

This recipe serves as a last hurrah to my favourite summer fruit. I took the final few in the basket to make these super simple but super delicious Peach Cheesecake Cookie Bars.

My idea was to use fresh fruit instead of cookie dough in our very popular recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars and it turned out very well indeed. Fresh cherries would also make another delicious Cherry Cheesecake version.

Fresh apricots or nectarines ar good choices too. I also plan on trying them with blueberries while there are still some fresh available.

I also would not hesitate to use frozen fruit at any point in the year for this recipe.

Love great no-bake ideas as well?
