Notes
For a smooth and creamy texture, bake the cheesecake bars in a water bath to prevent cracks and ensure even cooking.
To achieve vibrant natural colors, mix jams, matcha, and lemon curd into separate portions of the cheesecake batter before swirling them together.
Allow the cheesecake bars to cool completely and chill in the refrigerator for several hours to help them set properly before slicing and serving.
