Whip together sugar, cream cheese, sour cream, and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs one by one, making sure everything’s smooth each time.

Spread the filling over your crust. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or till the edges turn gold and the center jiggles slightly. Cool it down all the way.
05 -
Stir all compote ingredients over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Let it cool completely in the fridge.

Cut off edges if you want clean, sharp-looking bars.
