Chocolate Cheesecake Bars

Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tbs. sugar
  • 1/2 stick melted butter
  • 16 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Vanilla
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Mix together the crumbs, sugar, and butter until well combined. Press into a greased 7×11 inch pan (or an 8×8) firmly. Bake at 325 for 8 to 10 minutes, then let cool. Melt chocolate, being careful not to over heat it, set aside.
  2. Mix together the cream cheese, eggs, sugar, cream, and vanilla. I used vanilla bean paste here, but you can use whatever kind of vanilla you have. Don’t over mix here, you don’t want your bars to get large cracks in them.
  3. Divide the cheesecake mix in half. Mix the melted chocolate into one half of the batter. Pour one half on top of the crust, and spread evenly. Then do the same with the other half on top.
  4. Bake at 325 for 45-55 minutes or until just beginning to get golden on top. The middle will still jiggle a bit.
  5. Let cool to room temp, and then refrigerate until cool. Enjoy!
