To make these Creamy Chocolate Cheesecake Bars, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of sugar, and melted butter. Mix well and press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1/2 cup of sugar together until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and melted chocolate chips until well combined.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and the edges are lightly golden brown.
Once the cheesecake bars are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the cheesecake is firm.
When ready to serve, cut the Creamy Chocolate Cheesecake Bars into squares and garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired.
