These cheesecake bars were easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use less sugar in the cheesecake filling. I found it to be a little too sweet for my taste.

I'm not a big fan of cheesecake, but I decided to try these cheesecake bars anyway. I'm so glad I did! They were delicious. The crust was perfectly crispy and the filling was creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.

These cheesecake bars were a bit of a disappointment. The crust was too dry and the filling was too dense. I think I overbaked them, so I'll try again with a lower temperature and shorter baking time.

I love the combination of coconut and cream cheese in these cheesecake bars. The crust is also really good. I used graham crackers instead of vanilla wafers and it worked out great.

I've made these cheesecake bars several times now, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The toasted coconut adds a lovely flavor and texture, and the cheesecake filling is smooth and creamy. I highly recommend this recipe!
