INGREDIENTS
PHILADELPHIA CHEESECAKE BARS HOW TO MAKE
Prepare the crust: Combine the crumbs and butter thoroughly, then press firmly into an 8 or 9-inch baking pan (affiliate).
Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, and vanilla on medium speed. Then, on low, mix the eggs. Pour over the crust that has been prepared.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the center is slightly underset, at 350°F. Allow to cool after removing from the oven.
To make the topping, follow these steps: While the bars are baking, heat the strawberry sauce ingredients for around 15 minutes on the burner. Then set aside to cool.
Assemble the cheesecake by cutting it into 8-10 bars. Then drizzle with melted white chocolate chips and top with the strawberry topping.
Prepare the crust, then assemble the filling and bake! Make the strawberry sauce while the bars are baking.
FOR A GROUP
Depending on the size of the pan, one recipe yields 8-10 bars. To serve more people, cut these into smaller bars, or double the recipe and bake in two separate pans. This would make a great summer, Valentine’s Day, 4th of July, or Christmas treat!
QUESTIONS AND REPLIES
Why were Philadelphia cheesecake bars discontinued?
This is a reasonable question to which we may never have an answer… However, the homemade version of Philadelphia snack bars is far superior!
How should I keep my strawberry cheesecake snack bars?
Refrigerate in an airtight jar for 2-3 days.
Can you make and freeze cream cheese bars?
You may make the bars and topping ahead of time and keep them separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Within a few hours of serving, add the topping.
The bars can be frozen for up to two months. It’s ideal to freeze them without the topping and then top them with it right before serving, but you can freeze them with it if necessary. Unwrap them on a cookie sheet and freeze until solid, then wrap in plastic and foil or store in an airtight container.
TRICKS AND TIPS
Don’t overcook! This is essential for achieving a creamy, smooth texture.
The edges of the bars may be puffy when you take them out, but they should fall flat as they cool.
Cook the strawberry sauce slowly and for a long time. This is essential for achieving the deep red color and vibrant flavor.
Using a large, sharp knife, cut neat, even slices. To keep the cuts smooth, wipe the blade clean between cuts.
