Description

These Churro Cheesecake Bars combine the crunchy, buttery graham cracker crust with a smooth, creamy cheesecake layer, topped with a delightful cinnamon-sugar blend reminiscent of classic churros. Perfectly chilled and easy to prepare, this no-bake dessert offers a sweet treat that balances rich, tangy cream cheese with a hint of cinnamon spice.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped cream

Topping

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until fully combined, ensuring the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.
  2. Form the Crust Base: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined baking dish to create an even crust layer, setting a sturdy base for the cheesecake.
  3. Beat Cream Cheese: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy, removing lumps for a silky texture.
  4. Add Sweeteners and Flavor: Incorporate powdered sugar and vanilla extract into the cream cheese and continue mixing until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  5. Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold in the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to maintain airiness, resulting in a light and fluffy filling.
  6. Assemble Cheesecake Layer: Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing out the surface.
  7. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, mixing until well blended.
  8. Sprinkle Topping: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the surface of the cheesecake layer.
  9. Chill: Place the assembled dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake bars are fully set and firm.
  10. Serve: Slice into bars and serve chilled for a refreshing, sweet treat.

Notes

  • For best results, use full-fat cream cheese for a richer flavor and creamier texture.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Press the crust firmly to avoid crumbling when slicing the bars.
  • The bars can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Optional: Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce to add an extra layer of flavor.
