Cheesecake Bars
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
– 1 cup 125 g all-purpose flour
– cup 100 g unsalted butter, softened
– cup 50 g granulated sugar
For the Cheesecake Filling:
– 1 package 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– cup 100 g granulated sugar
– 1 large egg
– 2 tablespoons milk
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350F 175C. Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Crust:
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, and cup of sugar. Mix until the ingredients form a crumbly dough. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to create the crust. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and cup of sugar until smooth. Add the egg, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until fully combined and creamy.
4. Bake the Cheesecake Bars:
Pour the cheesecake filling over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are slightly golden.
5. Cool and Chill:
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake bars for at least 2 hours to fully set.
6. Slice and Serve:
Once chilled, cut the cheesecake into bars and serve. These creamy, easy-to-make cheesecake bars are perfect for any occasion!
