If you made it to this video, go ahead and MAKE IT! It's sooo good. Every time I make it, people love it!
Love these cheesecake bars! So much better than just cheesecake
I just made these for a crowd and they were AMAZING! My guests said that these were not only the best cheesecake bars they have every had, but the best DESSERT they have ever had. The graham cracker crust is perfectly crunchy and slightly salty to balance the sweetness. The cheesecake and strawberry topping are so rich and smooth not but overly sweet. And bonus that the presentation looks beautiful! I was doubtful that these would have much strawberry flavor since it only used about 6 strawberries, but it was perfect! Also, these were super easy to make, especially since you can make them ahead of time. Just make sure you have space in your fridge for a 9×13 pan. I will definitely be making these again.
One warning, don't pack the gram cracker crust too much, I did and it came out like a brick
Aluminum is mined from the Amazon rainforest and should not be wasted for a dessert….instead, use parchment paper. Better for the environment and more affordable. True, you can wash and reuse aluminum foil…but don't kid yourself into thinking most Americans would bother. Aluminum is recyclable…unless if it's contaminated with food waste (in which case, go back to the observation that most Americans won't bother to take the time to wash a thin sheet of metal).
That’s beautiful! I’m sure they taste fantastic!💯💯💯💯💯
I made this and EVERYONE LOVED IT! My husband requested this for his birthday.
I'm going to make these for Fourth of July!
Has anyone done this with blueberries instead of strawberries
Sugar added to the crust, sugar added to the cheesecake layer, sugar added to the sour cream topping, and sugar added to the sliced strawberry garnish. No objections, would buy again.
Made this with blueberries vs. strawberries and it was AMAZING!
FYI, serve great in cupcake papers
I grew up with sour cream topping, It was Mrs. Glance’s cheesecake recipe and she made it for my christening in 1967 and we had it on special occasions after that. It was the best.
Made this yesterday.. It was excellent…
An egg slicer is perfect for slicing strawberries and mushrooms.
Looks very doable … Brian is so credible, so believable as a recipe developer and presentor.
Yikes, my edges browned during the first baking. I guess I went too long….hope it comes out ok. Strawberry layer is baking right now. (fingers crossed)
Oven temp is not listed in the printed recipe. Had to go back and watch the demo to get it. I will definitely make this one!
This recipes absolutely incredibly good I cannot say that enough anybody who tries this will really really love it
I am making these and they're going to be done in 20 minutes. I can't wait.😛
I grow the best red raspberries you've ever tasted. Does anyone know if I can just sub 8 ounces of raspberries in place of strawberries? I think they will be wetter. Use less, maybe? I'd appreciate any suggestions. And thank you in advance!
Lots of sugar. Gotta taste good.
Oh goodness! I've got to make this soon!
Sour cream and sugar make a delicious topping too!
Made this for mother's day and it was a huge hit. Should have made a double batch because everyone wanted some to take home. I did bump up the strawberry in the topping by adding 2 T simply fruit jam. This is definitely going to be a regular springtime dessert in our house.
I made a Strawberry Pretzel with Fresh Cut Strawberries for Easter and took leftovers to work to share. I was never so embarrassed. When I opened it up, the Strawberries had grown a Mold coating. 😢 What happened? How can I prevent this from happening? Thank you.
Does it have to be a full fat sour cream? Or could it be like 10% to reduce calories? 🙂
Our family favorite has been Dad's Strawberry Pizza, which sounds yucky but is deeeelicious! It's merely a strawberry cheesecake chilled on a giant sugar cookie. But these bars look scrumptious so I'm gonna make them the next time I buy berries and surprise everyone. 🍓Thanks❣
Too cool 😍
How much sour cream Bryan?
Cranky old man here saying how much I miss the Marshall and Hood strawberries we U-picked when I was a kid. Tender and sweet, never crunchy or pithy or tart. You can grow them yourself, but you'll never see them in a market, (probably) not even in a farmer's market. One of the delights of local, seasonal produce. Oh, yes, this looks like a nice recipe.
Really? But REALLY????
Looks and sounds amazing. Maybe a little lemon zest with the cream cheese? Not too much. Just a smidge for added dimension. Lovely.
Bryan…I hope you saved me a slice.
Boo to sour cream
I serve strawberry shortcake a lot. I buy sugar free cakes. I macerate the strawberries in Splenda. I use the sugar free cool whip. Yes, I’m cooking for a diabetic. I fiddle with a lot of recipes quite successfully but boy this one is loaded with sugar. Would love to hear ideas.
I watched this video today and decided to make it. Don't underestimate how long this recipe takes. It's certainly not something you whip up after work for dessert that evening.
20 minutes to bake crust
30 minutes maybe for crust to cool, maybe longer?
45 minutes to bake filling
15 minutes to bake topping
2 hours to cool
4 hours minimum in refrigerator
————————————————-
8 hours total plus any prep time that doesn't occur during one of the other processes.
How does it taste? I guess I'll find out tomorrow…
Alot of sugar
thx
