Servings: 24 bars
Ingredients
Crust
- 2½ cups graham cracker crumbs, about 2 packages or 18 sheets
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ½ cup salted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 24 ounces cream cheese, 3 packages
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Crust
- Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper, leaving at least a half inch overhang on the long sides.
- Place the graham crackers in the food processor and pulse until fine crumbs.
- Add the granulated sugar and melted butter and pulse until completely combined.
- Pour the crumbs into the prepared dish, using your hands or the bottom of flat measuring cup, firmly press the crumbs evenly to fit the whole dish.
- Place the crust in the fridge to chill while you make the filling.
Cheesecake Filling
- In a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment or large mixing bowl with hand beaters, beat the cream cheese until smooth. This will take 3-4 minutes.
- Then add the entire can of sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, vanilla extract and salt. Beat until smooth and airy.
- Now use the whisk attachment on the stand mixer and whisk the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Then add the powdered sugar and and beat until there are stiff peaks.
- Add the stabilized whipped cream, a little at a time, to the cream cheese mixture. Gently fold it in being careful not to lose any air in the whipped cream.
- Pour the filling over the crust and spread out evenly.
- Place the bars into the refrigerator and chill for at least 3-4 hours. I have discovered that chilling them overnight is the best!
- Cut into 24 bars, add your favorite topping and enjoy!
