Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Cheesecake Bars
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until resembling wet sand. Press into the bottom of the lined baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until creamy. Add in the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing until smooth.
- Pour the cream cheese filling over the prepared crust, spreading evenly with a spatula.
- Dice fresh strawberries and evenly distribute them on top of the cheesecake layer, pressing gently into the filling.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir in melted butter until crumbly, then sprinkle over the strawberries.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Cool on a wire rack for about 1 hour.
- Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour before cutting into squares.

Notes
Allow the bars to sit out at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving for best texture and flavor.
