Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine all Crust ingredients. Cut the butter into the flour and powdered sugar using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Bake the crust for 18-20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool slightly.
Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, beat all Filling ingredients until smooth and creamy. Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, combine all Topping ingredients. Spread evenly over the cheesecake filling.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Let cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Lift the cheesecake bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
