Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Bake for 8 minutes, then remove from oven and let cool.
- Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla, beat until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in sour cream. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and spread evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- In a saucepan, combine sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens. Let the strawberry mixture cool slightly, then spread it over the cooled cheesecake.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake bars for at least 1 hour before slicing. Cut into bars and serve chilled.
