Ingredients

For the Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted

For the Cheesecake Filling

For the Topping (optional)

  • Fresh berries or fruit compote

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease or line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
    Butter, cream cheese, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, vanilla, eggs
  • In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined.

  • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to press the crust firmly.
  • In another mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.

  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and flour until smooth and well combined.

  • Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
    Add Filling to Crust and Bake
  • Remove the bars from the oven and let them cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, transfer the pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to set completely.
