Tips:
Use high-quality ingredients, such as fresh eggs and real butter, for the best flavor.
Don't overmix the cake batter, as this can result in a dense cake.
Consider using a different type of nut, such as walnuts or hazelnuts, for a different flavor profile.

🍯 Caramel Cheesecake Bars 🧂
Ingredients

Crust

1½ cups graham cracker crumbs

¼ cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Filling

2 packages (8 ounces each) full-fat cream cheese, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup sour cream

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Topping

½ cup thick caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

A light pinch of flaky sea salt (optional, for finish)

Note: For clean slicing, chill fully and wipe the knife between cuts.

Instructions

Prep & Preheat

Heat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides for easy lift-out. Lightly grease any exposed pan.

Make the Crust

In a medium bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Pour in melted butter and mix until the texture resembles wet sand. Press firmly and evenly into the bottom of the pan using the back of a measuring cup or flat glass. Par-bake for 8 minutes—just until set and fragrant. Cool slightly while you prepare the filling.

Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium until smooth and lump-free (about 2 minutes).

Add sour cream and vanilla; mix until incorporated.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until blended after each. Do not overmix—stop as soon as smooth.

Assemble & Bake

Pour filling over the warm crust and spread gently to the edges. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to release air bubbles.

Bake 35–40 minutes: edges should be set and lightly golden, center still slightly jiggly (like gelatin).

Turn off the oven, crack the door open with a wooden spoon, and let the bars cool inside for 1 hour. This gradual cooldown helps prevent cracks.

Chill Thoroughly

Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours—or preferably overnight—for clean, firm slices.

Finish & Serve

Lift the slab out using the parchment overhang. Place on a cutting board.

Drizzle with caramel in a zigzag pattern. Sprinkle very lightly with flaky sea salt, if using (a little goes a long way!).

Slice with a sharp knife, wiping it clean between cuts for neat squares.
