Strawberry Cheesecake Pie Bars are a delicious dessert that combines the creamy goodness of cheesecake with the sweet and tangy flavor of fresh strawberries. This dessert is perfect for any occasion and is sure to impress your guests.
To make these Strawberry Cheesecake Pie Bars, you will need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

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

For the cheesecake filling:

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

For the strawberry topping:

- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and bake for 10 minutes.
While the crust is baking, prepare the cheesecake filling. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined. Pour the cheesecake filling over the baked crust and smooth out the top.
Bake the cheesecake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set. Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature.
While the cheesecake is cooling, prepare the strawberry topping. In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and the strawberries are soft and tender.
Pour the strawberry topping over the cooled cheesecake and spread it out evenly. Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the topping is set.
These Strawberry Cheesecake Pie Bars are a perfect combination of creamy cheesecake and sweet strawberries. The crust is buttery and crisp, while the cheesecake filling is rich and creamy. The strawberry topping adds a burst of fresh flavor and a beautiful pop of color. This dessert is sure to be a hit with anyone who tries it!
