Tips:

Soften the butter and cream cheese to room temperature before creaming together. This will help them blend smoothly and create a light and fluffy filling.
Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to cream the butter and cream cheese together. This will help to incorporate air into the mixture and make it light and fluffy.
Add the sugar gradually, beating until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. This will help to prevent the sugar from crystallizing and making the filling gritty.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the mixture from curdling.
Add the flour and salt and mix until just combined. Overmixing will make the filling tough.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust and bake according to the recipe instructions.
Let the bars cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help them to set and hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Plantation Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that are perfect for any occasion. With their creamy, tangy filling and buttery, flaky crust, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
