Ingredients

Main Ingredients

▢ 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs finely crushed
▢ 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
▢ 2 packages cream cheese softened, 8 oz each
▢ 0.75 cup granulated sugar
▢ 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
▢ 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
▢ 2 large eggs
▢ 0.5 cup sour cream
▢ 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips melted and cooled

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9x9 inch square baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to easily lift the bars out later.
Mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter together in a medium bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, flour, and vanilla extract with a handheld mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until combined. Mix in the sour cream until smooth.
Divide the batter evenly between two medium bowls. Stir in the melted chocolate into one bowl until combined.
Spread the plain batter evenly on top of the crust. Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate batter on top. Using a knife or a toothpick, gently swirl the two together.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheesecake has set around the edges and only slightly jiggles in the center.
Remove from the oven. Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Then refrigerate for at least 3 hours until very firm.

Notes

These cheesecake bars can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Freeze leftover bars for up to 3 months.
