  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 14 minute

Ingredients

For the Crust:
– 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
– ¼ cup granulated sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling:
– 16 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 3 large eggs
– ½ cup sour cream

For the Toppings:
– 1 cup strawberries, sliced
– 1 cup blueberries
– Whipped cream (optional)


Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create your own Patriotic Cheesecake Bars:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Make the Crust: In a medium-sized bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined.
3. Press Crust: Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool slightly.
4. Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and vanilla, mixing until combined.
5. Add Eggs: Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then fold in the sour cream until well incorporated.
6. Pour Filling: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggles. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature.
8. Chill: Once cooled, place the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set thoroughly.
9. Top with Fruit: Arrange the sliced strawberries and blueberries on top to create a festive patriotic design just before serving.
10. Serve: Cut into bars and serve chilled. Add dollops of whipped cream if desired for extra indulgence.
