Halawa Kunafa Cheesecake Bars

A no-fuss cheesecake bar built around the crunch of kunafa-studded pistachio halawa.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 3 tbsp melted butter
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup Balsam Pistachio Halawa with Kunafa
• 1/4 cup sugar

METHOD

1. Press graham crumbs and butter into a lined pan for the base.
2. Beat cream cheese, halawa-kunafa spread, and sugar until smooth.
3. Spread over the base and chill for at least 3 hours.
4. Slice into bars.

The kunafa pieces in the spread keep a little crunch even after chilling — it's the whole point of this one.
