Strawberry Cheesecake Bars Dessert (Printable Recipe)

Buttery graham crust, creamy cheesecake, and juicy strawberries unite for an irresistible bar everyone will love.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Crust

01 - 126 g graham cracker crumbs
02 - 85 g unsalted butter, melted
03 - 50 g granulated sugar

→ Cheesecake filling

04 - 454 g cream cheese, room temperature
05 - 2 large eggs, room temperature
06 - 67 g granulated sugar
07 - 5 ml vanilla extract
08 - 1.25 g kosher salt

→ Topping

09 - 332 g fresh strawberries, diced
10 - 94 g all-purpose flour
11 - 50 g light brown sugar, packed
12 - 1.25 g kosher salt
13 - 71 g unsalted butter, melted

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a 23×23 cm baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring coverage of sides for easy removal.
02 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles damp sand. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of the lined baking dish, forming an even base.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat cream cheese, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and uniform. Spread the filling evenly over the crust.
04 - Distribute the diced strawberries evenly across the entire cheesecake filling.
05 - In a medium bowl, whisk flour, light brown sugar, and salt. Stir in melted butter until large crumbles form. Sprinkle topping evenly over the strawberries.
06 - Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set with a slight jiggle.
07 - Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely for approximately 1 hour. Refrigerate for an additional hour before slicing and serving chilled.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For clean slices, dip a sharp knife in hot water and wipe it dry before each cut.
02 - Allowing cream cheese and eggs to reach room temperature produces a smoother, lump-free filling.
03 - Avoid overmixing the filling to preserve a light and creamy texture.
04 - Bars store best in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
05 - For optimal flavor, use freshly diced, fully ripe strawberries.
