Tips:
- For a smooth cheesecake filling, make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you start mixing them together. - Do not overmix the cheesecake filling, as this can cause it to become dense and crumbly. - Bake the cheesecake in a water bath to prevent it from cracking. - Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cheesecake to set properly. - To make the cheesecake bars ahead of time, bake them and then freeze them for up to 2 months. When you're ready to serve, thaw the cheesecake bars in the refrigerator overnight. - You can use any type of graham cracker crust for these cheesecake bars. If you're using a store-bought crust, be sure to press it into the pan firmly so that it doesn't crumble when you cut the cheesecake bars. - You can also make your own graham cracker crust by combining 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.Conclusion:
These cheesecake bars are a delicious and easy dessert that are perfect for any occasion. They're creamy, tangy, and have a perfect graham cracker crust.
