Cheesecake Bars

Ingredients

• •2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• •1/2 cup melted butter
• •1/4 cup sugar
• •32 oz cream cheese, softened
• •1 cup sugar
• •1 cup sour cream
• •2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• •4 large eggs

Directions

1. 1Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar, then press firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan.
2. 2Beat softened cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
3. 3Add sour cream and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and beat until well combined.
4. 4Add eggs one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition until just combined.
5. 5Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust, spreading evenly.
6. 6Bake for 35-40 minutes until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.
7. 7Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before cutting into bars.

💡 Cheesecake bars cut far more cleanly after a full chill. Warm cream cheese filling can look set from the oven yet smear when sliced too soon.
