The BEST Philadelphia Cheesecake Bars (Snack Bars)
These easy Philadelphia Cheesecake Bars are the perfect copycat of the original Philadelphia Snack Bars! Creamy cheesecake filling, buttery graham cracker crust, and the best fresh strawberry topping. Plus they’re simple to make and avoid all the hassle of a full cheesecake.
Ingredients
▢1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs about 11 full crackers
▢¼ cup butter melted
▢2 (8 oz) pkgs cream cheese softened
▢½ cup granulated sugar
▢¼ cup sour cream
▢½ teaspoon vanilla extract
▢2 eggs room temperature
Strawberry Topping
▢1 ½ cups fresh strawberries chopped
▢5 tablespoon sugar
▢3 tablespoon water
▢1 tablespoon lemon juice
▢2 teaspoon cornstarch
White Chocolate Drizzle
▢½ cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 or 9x9 pan with a parchment sling. Then spray with baking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the crumbs and melted butter until evenly combined. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan, using a flat measuring cup or tamper to press down and pack the crust firmly.
In a large bowl, use hand beaters to combine cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, and vanilla on medium speed until smooth. Scrape well.
Add the eggs and combine on low speed until just combined. Don't overmix.
Pour filling over the crust. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the center is almost set, but still a bit jiggly. Remove and set on a wire rack to cool to room temperature (1-2 hours). Once cool, refrigerate in the pan for 3-4 hours.
While the cheesecake bars are baking, make the strawberry sauce. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring all the sauce ingredients to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking, stirring often, until the sauce is thick and a deep red color, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
