"It's the ultimate comfort dessert; people rave about my 7-Layer Bar," says personal chef and caterer Jeff Blumsack of St. Augustine, Florida, whose primary focus is comfort food meals clients take home in a slow cooker. "I use this recipe for parties and it's always gobbled up off the dessert trays in two minutes and I also sell it to my Crockpot customers." The recipe has been passed from Blumsack's grandmother to his mother and now to him. "It's simple and decadent," he says.

Tips:

  • To make the graham cracker crust, you can either use a food processor or a rolling pin. If you're using a food processor, simply pulse the graham crackers until they're fine crumbs. If you're using a rolling pin, place the graham crackers in a plastic bag and crush them until they're fine crumbs.
  • When you're making the cheesecake layer, be sure to use full-fat cream cheese that has been softened to room temperature. This will help to ensure that the cheesecake layer is smooth and creamy.
  • When you're making the whipped cream layer, be sure to use heavy cream that has been chilled. This will help to ensure that the whipped cream layer is stiff and fluffy.
  • If you want to make the bars ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just be sure to bring them to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

These Gingerbread 7-layer Bars are the perfect holiday treat! They're easy to make and they're always a hit with family and friends. So if you're looking for a festive and delicious dessert to serve this holiday season, be sure to give these bars a try!
