Tips:

For the churro layer, make sure to use a piping bag fitted with a star tip to create the churro shapes. This will give them their signature ridges and texture.
If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a plastic bag with the corner snipped off.
Be careful not to overcook the churros, or they will become hard and dry. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, but still soft and chewy on the inside.
For the cheesecake layer, make sure to use full-fat cream cheese for the best flavor and texture. You can also use low-fat or non-fat cream cheese, but the cheesecake will be less rich and creamy.
Be sure to let the cheesecake chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow it to set properly and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

Churro cheesecake bars are a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a crispy churro layer, creamy cheesecake filling, and sweet cinnamon sugar topping, these bars are sure to be a hit!
