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. Switch up the size of the pan to make them either tall like sheet cake or squat like lemon bars; either way, the recipe from Flakely chef-owner Lila Jai Colello works great. 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. The French Culinary Institute-trained chef launched Flakely by herself in 2017 and added a walk-up window — and staff — in Manayunk in 2022.
