Ingredients

Scale

Crust Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Cheesecake Filling

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Cut in the cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This will form both the base and the top crisp layer.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: Beat the softened cream cheese with eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream until smooth and creamy. Ensure the mixture is free of lumps for a luscious filling.
  3. Assemble the bars: Press about two-thirds of the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased baking pan. Pour the cheesecake filling over this crust layer, then crumble the remaining crust mixture evenly on top.
  4. Bake until golden: Bake the bars in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheesecake layer is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  5. Cool and slice: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares to ensure clean slices and a firm cheesecake layer.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Remove bars from the oven as soon as the center is almost set to prevent cracking.
  • Press the crust mixture firmly and evenly for consistent texture.
  • Use freshly ground cinnamon for brighter, more aromatic flavor.
  • Cool bars fully before slicing to maintain neat edges.
