Tips To Perfect Cheesecake Danish Bars
This can be made straight in the pan without parchment paper, but you will want to grease the pan.
I like using parchment paper because it makes it easy to remove the whole danish from the pan and slice and serve it.
If you don’t like a more eggy cheesecake filling, it can be reduced to 1 egg.
I felt the two eggs was more cheese danish-y but the 1 was more cheesecake-y - feel free to change it up and adapt this recipe to your tastes!

What Pie Filling To Use
I used canned cherry pie filling, but you could link to a homemade recipe if you have one.
Other pie filling flavors may also be used in this recipe some of our ideas are below:
- Peach pie
- Strawberry rhubarb pie
- Apple cinnamon pie
- Boysenberry pie
- Blueberry pie
If you want to use a fresh fruit pie filling, make sure it is not too liquid.
Pop it on the stove to reduce slightly if too watery - you don't want the pastry or cheesecake to get soggy.
Cheesecake Bars Topping Ideas
You could sprinkle the top of the danish with granulated sugar after applying the egg wash and before baking as a nice alternative to the icing or powdered sugar.
You can also try a sopapilla-style sugar topping like we use in my apple cheesecake sopapilla bars recipe, drizzle caramel sauce or syrup over the top, or top with a drizzle of chocolate or whipped cream!
Recipe FAQ'S
You can make this danish in advance and chill it covered in the refrigerator overnight.
While these cheesecake bars are safe to eat for up to four days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, they are best if consumed within two days.
