Description

Rich and creamy dessert bars with a buttery graham cracker crust, perfect for potlucks and family gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter
  • 24 ounces (3 x 8-oz) softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Make the crust by pulsing graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a food processor.
  3. Press the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch pan and bake for 10–12 minutes.
  4. For the filling, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently to combine.
  6. Stir in vanilla and sour cream, then pour over the warm crust.
  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly.
  8. Cool for 1 hour, then chill for at least 4 hours before slicing.
