Expert Tips
Don't be tempted to use reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel) instead of regular cream cheese. The white chocolate-cream cheese filling may not get firm enough, even when refrigerated.
For Lemon-Strawberry Cream Bars, use strawberry preserves instead of the raspberry.
Present these pretty spring bars on a cake pedestal decorated with fresh raspberries and mint leaves.
