Orange Cream Cheese Bars Recipe

Nothing screams summer like an orange creamsicle. I took that tasty flavor and infused it into a delicious bar that you will want to eat all summer long.

Flaky crust, creamy orange filling and a buttery orange glaze on top.  These bars are as easy to make as they are delicious.

They make the perfect summer treat, and taste just like an orange creamsicle. But let’s be honest, these Orange Cream Cheese Bars are delicious all year round, not just during the summer.

If you have a sweet tooth, this is a recipe and dessert I highly recommend trying. They are a crowd favorite, every time.

Also, all the flavor of a creamsicle without the brain freeze or the sensitive teeth biting into it. It doesn’t get much better than this.

add a little glaze:

These bars are delicious as is, but lately, I have been making this little glaze to drizzle over them, and it is absolutely delicious.

It’s incredibly easy to throw together, and you can drizzle or spread it onto the bars, hot or cold.

Here is how you make the simple and delicious glaze recipe:

All you need ingredient wise is:

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 tablespoon melted butter.

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl with a whisk or fork, until there are no lumps in the powdered sugar. Drizzle over the bars as desired.

You could also add a little bit of cream cheese if you were wanting it to be more creamy.

It would also be delicious with a pinch of orange zest, or even a small splash of orange juice to give it that extra little citrus flare and flavor.

what is the best way to store these?

These are best when they are cold. We always refrigerate ours, and keep them in an airtight container in the fridge.

They usually last nicely for 3-4 days in the fridge. After that, the flaky crust may soften up a bit.
