Strawberry Cheesecake Bars combine a creamy cheesecake filling, buttery graham cracker crust, and a sweet strawberry topping for a delicious handheld dessert that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

160g biscuits or graham crackers (around 1.5 cups of graham cracker crumbs or 10–12 graham crackers)

80g butter, salted, melted (1/4 cup + 2 tbsps)

500g cream cheese, at room temperature (17.75oz)

140g granulated sugar (1/2 cup + 2 tbsps)

1 tsp vanilla

2 large eggs, at room temperature

7g cornstarch or cornflour (1 tbsp)

1/4 tsp salt

80ml heavy cream or double cream (1/4 cup + 1 tbsp)

300g strawberries, chopped (around 10.7 oz or around 1.5 cups)

50g granulated sugar (3 tbsps + 1 tsp)

100g plain flour or all-purpose flour (1/2 cup + 2 tbsps)

65g light brown sugar (1/4 cup + 1 tbsp, packed)

65g butter, unsalted, at room temperature (1/4 cup + 1 tbsp)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Pulse graham crackers into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter and press into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and cool.
  3. In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, vanilla, cornstarch, and salt. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then add heavy cream and mix until smooth.
  4. Pour cheesecake batter over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggles. Let cool in the oven for 1 hour, then chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  6. For the topping, combine strawberries and sugar in a saucepan. Cook for 5-7 minutes until syrupy, then cool.
  7. For the crumble topping, mix flour and brown sugar, then add butter and mix until crumbly. Sprinkle over cheesecake bars just before serving.
  8. Cut the cheesecake into bars and top each with strawberry topping and crumble.

Notes

You can replace the strawberry topping with other fresh fruits like raspberries or blueberries.

For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free graham crackers or cookies for the crust.

Feel free to skip the crumble topping if you prefer a simpler dessert.

Chilling the cheesecake is crucial for the bars to set properly and hold their shape.

Store the bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
