Frozen Red Velvet Cheesecake Bars for 4th of July

When it comes to holidays, I always think about my Mom. She loves to decorate, celebrate and bake for every holiday!

Growing up, I was always the kid taking some kind of “holiday themed” treat to school.

I guess you could say that translated to my adult life, because I now feel the need to make a themed treat for every holiday. Well that and the encouragement of the almighty Pinterest! 😉

With 4th of July right around the corner, I began brainstorming all kinds of red, white and blue recipes that I could make for the holiday.

I thought back to the summer of 2013 when I made the oh-so-popular Frozen Strawberry Cheesecake Bars and decided to create a new version of this sweet, refreshing dessert for 4th of July!

I started with red velvet cheesecake, then added blueberries and white chocolate chips to give these bars the full red, white & blue treatment!

I cut the bars into stars, and boom, the perfect cool & patriotic treat is ready for the holiday!

Combine the Oreo crumbs and butter in a large bowl.

Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish.

Note: I realized after the fact, that if I parchment lined the baking dish it would have been mush easier to remove the bars from the dish once they are frozen. I highly recommend this 😉

Place back into the freezer for at least 4 hours.

Remove from the freezer at least 20 minutes before serving to thaw enough to slice through.

Slice into bars, or stars. If using a cookie cutter to slice into stars, I recommend a metal cookie cutter.

Once they’re sliced, serve immediately or place back in the freezer until ready to serve.

It’s going to be nice and warm, so I have a feeling we’re going to need some of these frozen cheesecake bars to cool us down!
