Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat the oven and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar. Press firmly into the pan.
- Bake the crust until lightly golden, then cool slightly.
- Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla.
- Spread filling over the crust and bake until the center is lightly set.
- Cook strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch until thickened. Cool before spreading over cheesecake.
- Chill thoroughly, slice into bars, and serve with clean sharp cuts.
Notes
For a softer crust, bake a little less. For a crispier base, bake a few minutes longer. Freeze fully chilled bars in airtight layers for up to two months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving. Use a warm knife for clean slices during assembly. Customize flavors with raspberries, blueberries, or mixed berries. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to five days.
