In reply to John. We appreciate your questions, it shows an excitement to learn more about the science behind baking! Cheesecake bars are a type of dessert where switching out the type of cookie used in the crust won't affect the recipe so drastically as substituting the sugar or eggs in the filling, for example. Our team tests our recipes extensively before they're published, and a lot of the times have tested a substitution. Read through the blog post first to see if it's something we've mentioned, but always feel free to ask. If it's something we haven't tested, we'll let you know! :)

These bars are so creamy and delicious! I love the lemon and raspberry together and they are just so pretty, too. Perfect summer dessert!

This is a family favorite! I don’t think there is an event I attend that Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake Bars are not requested. The combination of the raspberry and the cheesecake are perfect!

I’ve made these several times. I love the tartness of the raspberries and lemons!

So good!! I added 1/2 t of lemon extract to the cheesecake batter to give an extra burst of lemon. My only complaint would be that the bars didn’t stay flat–even though I banged the pan on the counter, the cheesecake kind of rose and feel around the raspberry swirl. But besides that they were gorgeous and delicious–perfect for a summer get-together!

You all are so kind to answer my question. About 14 seconds after I hit return to submit my “comment”, I found the NO SUBSTITUTIONS POLICY on your homepage – couldn’t have been clearer, totally reasonable, and I was so embarrassed! I tried to remove my question so as not to bother you but couldn’t figure out if there was a way to un-comment. But again, thank you all for your kindness and your helpful support. As I tap out this thank you note, Tessa’s formidably delicious Raspberry Lemonade Cheesecake bars on a graham cracker crust are well on their way to becoming Raspberry Lemon-and-Limeade with Candied Ginger Cheesecake bars on a Windmill Cookie Crust!

In reply to John. That's so great to hear, John! We haven't tried using Archway Windmill Cookies, but I don't see why they wouldn't work! With cheesecake recipes, you can typically use the same amount of weight of digestive biscuits, vanilla wafers, Biscoff cookies, or any crunchy cookie you'd like! If the cookie is a little richer than graham crackers (which are drier), add just enough butter until it holds together when pressed. Hope that helps!

Such a good summer treat! The raspberry perfectly complements the lemon, and the swirls are pretty and fun to make. Great option for any summer potluck!
