With a buttery graham cracker crust, a rich and decadent cheesecake filling, and a swirl of fresh raspberries and white chocolate, these bars are the perfect treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
– 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
– 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup fresh raspberries
– 4 ounces white chocolate, chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar and beat until well incorporated.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gently fold in the fresh raspberries and white chocolate.
6. Pour the cheesecake batter over the graham cracker crust and use a spatula to smooth the top.
7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is almost set. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting and serving.
Notes
For a creamier texture, you can use a blend of cream cheese and sour cream in the filling. Chilling the bars for at least 2 hours helps them set up nicely and makes them easier to cut. Leftover bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
