Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups cream cheese, softened
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 cup strawberry glaze (store-bought or homemade)

How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Bars

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create an even crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until well combined.
5. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until everything is just combined.
6. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour.
8. Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
9. Before serving, top the cheesecake bars with sliced fresh strawberries and drizzle the strawberry glaze over the top.
10. Using the parchment overhang, lift the cheesecake out of the baking dish and cut into bars. Enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling.
• Don’t overmix the batter once the eggs are added to avoid a dense texture.
• For a cleaner cut, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts.
• Chill the bars well before serving to enhance their flavor and texture.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the strawberry glaze with a raspberry or blueberry glaze for a different fruity twist.
• Add a layer of chocolate ganache on top for a chocolate-strawberry cheesecake bar.
• Incorporate a tablespoon of lemon juice into the filling for a refreshing citrus flavor.

What to Serve With It

• A dollop of whipped cream for added creaminess.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream to complement the cheesecake bars.
• Fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
