Churro Cheesecake Bars Sweet and Tasty Dessert Treat

What makes churro cheesecake bars special? These bars blend two popular treats into one. You get the creamy, rich cheesecake and the sweet, crispy churro. It’s a match made in dessert heaven!

To make these bars, you’ll start with a simple crust. The crust is made from flour, sugar, butter, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. It gives the bars a nice base. Once you mix the dry ingredients, add melted butter and an egg. This creates a dough that holds everything together.

Next, you’ll press about two-thirds of the dough into a greased baking pan. This step is key to making a solid foundation for your cheesecake layer.

Now, let’s talk cheesecake. Softened cream cheese is your main star here. You’ll beat it until it’s smooth, then add powdered sugar and vanilla. This creates a sweet filling that pairs perfectly with the crust.

After spreading the cheesecake on the crust, crumble the remaining dough over the top. This gives a nice texture and a little crunch. Baking time is around 30 to 35 minutes. Look for a golden top and a slight jiggle in the middle.

Once the bars are out of the oven, sprinkle a cinnamon-sugar mix on top while they are warm. This adds a sweet finishing touch.

Let the bars cool completely before slicing them into squares. Serve them on a fancy platter for a beautiful presentation. You can even add whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a special touch.

These churro cheesecake bars are perfect for any gathering. Whether it’s a party or a cozy night in, they are sure to impress.Enjoy your delicious creation!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter to ensure easy removal of the bars later.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.

  3. 3

    Add the melted unsalted butter and the room temperature egg to the dry ingredients. Stir using a spatula or spoon until a cohesive dough forms. Note that the dough may appear crumbly; this is perfectly normal.

  4. 4

    Take approximately 2/3 of the dough and press it firmly into the bottom of the greased baking pan to create a smooth, even layer.

  5. 5

    In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the softened cream cheese until it is velvety smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing on medium speed until the mixture is creamy and well combined.

  6. 6

    Gently pour and spread the cheesecake mixture over the pressed dough in the baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even layer.

  7. 7

    Crumble the remaining dough over the cheesecake layer in a rustic manner, ensuring an appealing texture and look on top.

  8. 8

    Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheesecake filling is set (a slight jiggle in the center is okay).

  9. 9

    While the bars are baking, prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture by mixing 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a small bowl until thoroughly combined.

  10. 10

    Once the bars have finished baking, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top while they are still warm for maximum adhesion.

  11. 11

    Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing them into neat squares for serving.
