To make these Strawberry 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 filling:

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

For the topping:

- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
To start, 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, in a separate 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 filling is set.
While the bars are baking, prepare the strawberry topping. In a saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and the strawberries are soft.
Once the bars are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Pour the strawberry topping over the cheesecake filling and spread it evenly. Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours, or until they are completely chilled.
These Strawberry Cheesecake Bars are a perfect combination of creamy and sweet. The crust is buttery and crunchy, while the filling is smooth and rich. The strawberry topping adds a burst of fresh flavor that complements the cheesecake perfectly. These bars are a great dessert for any occasion and are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
