A full list of the ingredients for Philadelphia Strawberry Cheesecake Bars is in the recipe card below, but here are a few noteworthy tips:
Graham cracker crumbs: You can buy these as crumbs, or buy the crackers and pulse in a food processor.
Cream cheese: Although these are Philadelphia cheesecake snack bars, you can use any brand of cream cheese. Just be sure to choose a full-fat option so you get a really creamy filling, and start with them at room temperature.
Strawberries: Fresh berries are the best option because you can chop them first for the right texture. You can substitute with frozen, but the texture will be different.
🔪 HOW TO MAKE PHILADELPHIA CHEESECAKE BARS
Make the crust: Combine the crumbs and butter well, then press firmly into a prepared 8×8 or 9×9 pan (affiliate).
Make the filling: Combine the cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, and vanilla in a large bowl on medium speed. Then add the eggs and combine on low. Pour over the prepared crust.
Bake: Bake at 350°F for 30-40 minutes, or until the center is slightly underset. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Make the topping: While the bars are baking, simmer the the strawberry sauce ingredients on the stove for about 15 minutes. Then allow to cool.
Assemble: Slice the cheesecake into 8-10 bars. Then top with the strawberry topping and drizzle with melted white chocolate chips.
