Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 cup of sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, mix in the sour cream until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust in the baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- While the cheesecake is chilling, prepare the topping by mixing ½ teaspoon of cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl. Once the cheesecake is chilled and set, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top.
- Cut into bars and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious churro cheesecake bars!
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the cheesecake mixture for a chocolate twist.
- You can also drizzle caramel sauce over the bars before serving for an extra indulgent treat.
