Easier and Quicker than Cheesecake: Cheesecake Bars
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ค. 2024
- Smooth, creamy Cheesecake Bars are the quicker and more portable version of my well-loved cheesecake. My recipe includes a fudgy chocolate ganache topping to take these to the next level!
Recipe: sugarspunrun.com/cheesecake-b...
Ingredients
Crust
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (170g)
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon light brown sugar, firmly packed
7 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake
24 oz cream cheese, softened (use brick-style full-fat cream cheese) (680g)
1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
½ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs, room temperature preferred
Ganache (optional)
4 oz semisweet or dark chocolate, finely chopped (may substitute chocolate chips, no chopping needed) (113g)
½ cup heavy cream (118ml)

Instructions
00:00 Introduction
Crust
00:14 Preheat oven to 325F (165C) and line a 9x9” baking pan with parchment paper or foil (optional). Set aside.
00:20 Stir together graham cracker crumbs and sugars until combined.
00:34 Add melted butter and stir until all crumbs are moistened.
00:43 Press crumbs evenly into the bottom of prepared baking pan and set aside (no need to pre-bake before adding cheesecake batter).
Cheesecake
01:39 Combine cream cheese and sugar in large mixing bowl (or in bowl of stand mixer) and use an electric mixer (or paddle attachment on mixer) to beat on medium-speed until smooth, creamy, and lump-free.
02:18 Add sour cream and vanilla extract and stir on low-speed until combined.
02:36 Lightly scramble one egg with a fork then add it to the cheesecake batter and stir on low-speed until just-combined. Repeat with remaining eggs. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are evenly combined.
03:18 Pour batter evenly over graham cracker crust in prepared baking pan.
03:28 Transfer to the center rack of 325F (165C) preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes or until cheesecake is almost set (the center will still have some jiggle but will mostly be set, the edges may have puffed a bit, and if you lightly touch the center with your finger it should spring back to the touch).
03:54 Allow cheesecake to cool to room temperature then transfer to refrigerator to chill completely, at least 5-6 hours, preferably overnight.
04:06 After cheesecake has completely chilled, top with chocolate ganache if desired.
Ganache
04:15 Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour cream into small saucepan and heat over medium heat. As soon as you see the cream beginning to simmer, remove from heat and pour evenly over chocolate. Do not stir, just cover the bowl with foil and allow to sit for 5 minutes undisturbed.
04:52 Remove foil and gently whisk ingredients together until chocolate is smooth and completely melted.
05:09 Pour evenly over cheesecake bars, using a spatula to smooth if necessary. Transfer to refrigerator until ganache has set (about 15-20 minutes) then cut into squares and serve.
Notes
Storing
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Cheesecake bars may also be wrapped and frozen for up to 3 months.

Everytime you edit in the sad music with the kitchen aid I chuckle; it will never get old lol. Love the channel, and can’t wait to try these!
I always laugh too.
Goodness gracious these came out good. I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of adding a healthy pinch of coarse sea salt to the graham cracker crust. 👌🏼
So glad you liked them 🥰
Ooooh curious how adding the sea salt came out?
I just made these today and they came out great! So creamy and delicious! Thank you for making it so easy to follow. I will definitely be trying more of your recipes.
I'm so glad you enjoyed them! I hope you love everything else you try! :)
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ You're my one favorite Bakers on TH-cam! Thank you so much! From a Mom to a Mom.❤
Thank you so much! :)
This recipe is fabulous. I made it yesterday and served it tonight. Everyone LOVED it and keep saying how incredibly delicious it is. It has to be the best cheesecake recipe in my book now. Thank you so much!
Glad you liked it!!
Thank you for making my life a whole lot sweeter.
Thank you 💐
You're welcome! Enjoy! :)
Those cheesecake bar look amazing, I need to try the recipe for sure. You always crack me up with the lonely stand mixer😆
I hope you love it! And I'm glad you enjoy the mixer joke 🤣
I dont understand the joke. Could you explain it please?
@@ema8909 Replay about minute 2, and notice how she holds the mixer up while "lonely", gloomy, sad violin plays in the background.... and it contrasts against her upbeat, happy personality...funny!
@@noodletropic thanks for reply! Ive seen it in all her episodes I just dont get why its lonely.
@@ema8909 The idea is that it’s lonely because she’s not using it. She’s using her hand mixer instead, so it’s sad that it’s not being used.
These look so yummy, will have to try.
Hope you love them 🥰
Look awesome and delicious! Can't wait to make. Thanks for any easy to follow recipe!
I hope you love them! 😊
I'm going to make them for my grandson. He loves cheese cake. This is taking it to a whole new level. Thank you

Hello Nursy
So glad you liked them!
Yummmmmmy!!!
Mine are baking in the oven as I leave this comment. I've always been so intimidated to make cheesecake but you made it look simple and easy to follow. Can't wait to eat them tomorrow once they've chilled overnight.
I hope you love them! 😊
@@SugarSpunRun we most certainly did! I've never had better. Thank you for your videos! I truly enjoy watching them.
That’s so awesome to hear!! Thank you! 😊😊
Yummy 😋
Oooh this is going to be my next project 😁
Good luck!
YUM, YUM, YUM, I would love to take a bite of that heavenly cheesecake.😇🥰😇🥰😇🥰
It's so good 🤤
Thanks 🙏 you make recipes look so easy and delicious 🤤
Enjoy! :)
Sure will… thanks
Here’s what I am doing right now, Sugar Spun Sam: I am making your cheesecake in this video and I baked it with fresh blueberries. Once it cools, I am going to add your chocolate ganache! This may not be what you have in mind, but I’m trying it just to see how it works. I hope you don’t mind. You see, your expertise and positivity have given this novice some confidence! Thank you again, so much! And hello to your lasagna pasta eating dogs! 🐕🐕👍❤️
Nvrmnd lol found the full version lol thanks my uncle is going to love these
Looks delicious ❣️. Can you use sugar substitute? Or do you have a sugar free recipe? Thank you! 🙂
THANK YOU ! THANK YOU ! THANK YOU ! for using FULL FAT Cream Cheese!
Yum
Would it be possible for you to try to make cheesecake on a popsicle stick and dip it into a chocolate ganache? If you’ve already done this I may have overlooked it but this would be awesome to follow along to 🤗👍🏻
If you have silicon popsicle moulds, that are oven safe, you could probably do it, but without the Graham cracker crust.
@@rouvim5931
What a GREAT IDEA! Thank you! I mean REALLY Thank You! LOL
I have never had chocolate on my cheesecake. I will try this, next gathering I go to or next after Sunday dinner...
You're going to love it!
I made these and I chose not to make the ganache. The texture of the cheesecake was smooth, creamy and perfect. The graham cracker crust was delicious and I think the brown sugar addition made it better than traditional graham cracker crust. I could have eaten the whole pan it was that good.
I'm SO happy you loved them! 🥰
Hey, Hello! Can I ask You what lighting you use? Your videos look so smooth and clear.
How do you make all these delectable and delicious recipes and still maintain your beautiful body?
Really...
Love your recipes but can't make as many as I wish I could! Lol, like one every week for our family.
I always chuckle to myself, when you zoom in on the kitchen aid mixer…..cheers from The Maritimes….
😁😁
Yummy food
Thank you 😋
Making these next week, can’t wait! Question: once they’ve been in the fridge (I won’t be able to serve them right away), about how long should they be out of the fridge before serving? Thanks!
I serve them straight out of the fridge, but you could probably let them sit up to 30 minutes if needed.
Yumm
Sam what brand of choc did u use???
Looks so so delicious!! Mmmm… but how many calories in one piece?
