Crust

Cheesecake Filling
  1. Beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then mix in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract and flour.
Bake Cheesecake
  1. Pour the filling over the crust and bake for 30-35 minutes until the center is set; cool completely before chilling.
Strawberry Topping

Assemble and Chill

Notes

For best results, ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling. Chilling the bars thoroughly is key for clean slices.
