STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE BARS



Strawberry Cheesecake Bars image

Great for picnics or potlucks, these portable cheesecake bars incorporate cooked berries directly into the custard, which means they take on a rosy hue. You can even add a few drops of red food coloring if you want to make up for out-of-season berries, which are less vibrantly colored, or if you just want a livelier result. Feel free to use frozen berries in place of fresh, though you'll need to thaw them fully before beginning the process.

Time 1h45m

Yield One 9-by-13-inch pan (about 15 bars)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray
10 1/2 ounces/300 grams shortbread cookies
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
4 tablespoons/55 grams unsalted butter (1/2 stick), melted
1 1/2 pounds strawberries, hulled and halved (about 4 cups)
1 1/2 cups/300 grams granulated sugar
3 (8-ounce) packages/680 grams cream cheese, at room temperature
5 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Red food coloring, as needed
1 1/4 cups/300 milliliters heavy cream
1/2 cup/60 grams confectioners' sugar
3/4 pound strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced (about 2 cups)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9-by-13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse the cookies until they form fine crumbs (you should have about 2 1/2 cups). Add the salt and pulse briefly to combine, then add the melted butter and pulse until uniformly incorporated. Press the crust into an even layer on the bottom of the prepared pan and wipe out the bowl of the food processor. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the crust has browned slightly and appears set, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.
  • Make the filling: In a medium pot, toss the strawberries with 1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries begin to soften and the mixture becomes juicy, 4 to 8 minutes, depending on the firmness of the berries. Cool for 15 minutes.
  • Transfer the strawberries and their juices to the food processor and purée until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer the berry purée to a large bowl and set aside. Add the remaining 1 1/4 cups/250 grams granulated sugar and the cream cheese to the food processor bowl and blend until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time and pulse until incorporated, scraping down the sides of the food processor bowl as needed.
  • Add the vanilla and pulse to combine. Scrape the custard into the berry purée and stir to combine. The batter should be a pale pink. If it's not, add 3 to 5 drops red food coloring and mix to combine. Pour the cheesecake custard into the cooled crust.
  • Bake the cheesecake until the edges appear set and the center still appears slightly jiggly, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool at room temperature for 45 minutes, then refrigerate until firm (at least 4 hours, and up to overnight).
  • Make the topping: In an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the cream and confectioners' sugar to medium peaks, 3 to 4 minutes. Spread the whipped cream on the chilled cheesecake in an even layer. Arrange the sliced strawberries on top. (Arranging them in stripes makes it a bit easier to cut rows out of the bars later.) Use a sharp knife to release the edges of the cheesecake from the pan. Slice into 15 even pieces, wiping the knife clean between cuts for the clean, sharp edges.

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

9 graham crackers (whole crackers broken into pieces)
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 lbs cream cheese
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 ounces strawberries, hulled (1 cup heaping)
5 strawberries, hulled (to garnish)
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups sour cream
1 teaspoon sugar (for strawberry garnish)

Steps:

  • TO BEGIN: Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 300 degrees. Make foil sling for 13 by 9-inch baking pan by folding 2 long sheets of aluminum foil; first sheet should be 13 inches wide and second sheet should be 9 inches wide. Lay sheets of foil in pan perpendicular to each other, with extra foil hanging over edges of pan. Push foil into corners and up sides of pan, smoothing foil flush to pan. Spray with vegetable oil spray.
  • FOR THE CRUST: Process cracker pieces and sugar in food processor until finely ground, about 30 seconds. Add flour and salt and pulse to combine, about 2 pulses. Add melted butter and pulse until crumbs are evenly moistened, about 10 pulses.
  • Using your hands, press crumb mixture evenly into bottom of prepared pan. Using bottom of dry measuring cup, firmly pack crust into pan. Bake until fragrant and beginning to brown around edges, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely. (Allowing to cool completely is very important to the end result.).
  • FOR THE FILLING: In clean, dry processor bowl, process cream cheese and sugar until smooth, about 3 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. With processor running, add eggs, one at a time, until just incorporated, about 30 seconds total. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add vanilla and process to combine, about 10 seconds. Pour cream cheese mixture over cooled crust. Bake until center is almost set but still jiggles slightly when pan is shaken, about 45 minutes.
  • FOR THE TOPPING: Meanwhile, in clean, dry processor bowl, process 6 ounces strawberries and ½ cup sugar until pureed, about 30 seconds. Stir strawberry puree and sour cream in bowl until combined.
  • Remove cheesecake from oven. Pour strawberry mixture over cheesecake (cheesecake layer should be completely covered). Return pan to oven and bake until topping is just set, about 15 minutes.
  • Transfer pan to wire rack and let cheesecake cool completely, about 2 hours. Refrigerate until cold and set, at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours. Slice remaining 5 strawberries thin and gently toss with remaining 1 teaspoon sugar in bowl. Using foil overhang, lift cheesecake out of pan. Cut into 24 squares. Garnish each square with 1 strawberry slice and serve.
