Ingredients for Strawberry Cheesecake Bars

For the crust:

  • 1Graham crackers
  • Sugar
  • Butter

For the filling:

  • Cream cheese
  • Strawberries
  • Sugar
  • Vanilla extract
  • Heavy whipping cream

Homemade Graham Cracker Crust

Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs by placing them in a zip-top bag, and crush with a rolling pin, or whirling them in a food processor.

Pour into a bowl, and add sugar and melted butter. Stir together until evenly combined. Press graham cracker mixture into an 8×8 inch square pan lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate or freeze while preparing the filling

To prepare the filling, combine the cream cheese, strawberries, sugar, and vanilla extract in a food processor. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Alternatively, this can be done by mashing the strawberries by hand and whisking the ingredients together. If using this method, you will want to make sure your cream cheese is very soft.

In a separate bowl, whip chilled cream until stiff peaks form.

Add cream cheese and strawberry combination, and fold together until just combined. Spread evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust. Freeze for at least one hour before serving!

Strawberry season is my very favorite summer fruit season, so once they start showing up in stores and farmer’s stands, I can’t get enough of the strawberry desserts.

    Hi. I made the Strawberry Cheesecake Bars and they were very yummy. I was just wondering if some gelatin or something could be added so it wouldn’t melt away? I froze them and then had them in the fridge before taking them to a friend’s house. They got very thin and really needed a spoon to eat it. Sure didn’t hurt the taste.

    I made this recipe and it was delicious. I was wondering if this recipe could be used with peaches or bananas without the crust and put in popcycle molds
