The Philadelphia Inquirer Highlights Flakely’s Cranberry Swirl Cheesecake Bars

Our cranberry swirl cheesecake bar recipe made The Philadelphia Inquirer’s holiday list of 8 slam-dunk cookie recipes from some of Philly’s best bakeries and restaurants!

These swirled cheesecake bars bring contrast to a cookie plate: They’re creamy, a little sweet, a little tart, and wonderfully festive.

Flakely’s claim to fame is its gluten-free croissants and bagels (said to be some of the best in the country), but Colello has mastered all sorts of gluten-free products since she was diagnosed with a celiac allergy in 2012.
