Ice Cream Cheesecake Bars

Ice Cream Cheesecake Bars are a delicious and refreshing dessert that combines the creaminess of cheesecake with the sweetness of ice cream. This dessert is perfect for any occasion and is sure to impress your guests.
To make these Ice Cream Cheesecake Bars, you will need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the cheesecake layer:

- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the ice cream layer:

- 2 cups vanilla ice cream, softened
- 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix well and press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside to cool.
Next, prepare the cheesecake layer. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Pour the mixture over the cooled crust and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheesecake is set. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely.
Once the cheesecake has cooled, spread the softened vanilla ice cream over the top of the cheesecake layer. Drizzle the hot fudge sauce over the ice cream layer and use a knife to swirl the sauce into the ice cream. Freeze the dessert for at least 2 hours or until the ice cream is firm.
When ready to serve, remove the dessert from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften. Cut into bars and serve immediately.
These Ice Cream Cheesecake Bars are the perfect combination of creamy, sweet, and tangy. The graham cracker crust adds a nice crunch to the dessert, while the cheesecake layer provides a tangy contrast to the sweet ice cream layer. The hot fudge sauce adds a rich and decadent touch to the dessert.
