Key Ingredients for Blender Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Bars
Here’s what you’ll need to make these delicious bars:
- Crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- Cheesecake Filling:
- 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- Cinnamon Swirl:
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until crumbly. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool slightly.
- Blend the Filling: In a blender, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, sour cream, and eggs. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add the ground cinnamon and give it another quick mix until evenly incorporated.
- Pour and Swirl: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the cheesecake. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the cinnamon mixture into the cheesecake lightly.
- Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are set, and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and keep the cheesecake inside for another 10 minutes, then let it cool at room temperature.
- Chill: Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before cutting into bars.
- Serve and Enjoy: Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Slice into squares and serve. Enjoy every creamy, cinnamon-filled bite!
What to Serve Blender Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Bars With
These bars shine on their own, but why not elevate your dessert experience? Serve them with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce if you want an extra treat. Pair your cheesecake bars with a hot cup of coffee or a refreshing glass of milk to provide a delightful contrast to the sweet richness.
Top Tips for Perfecting Blender Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Bars
- Cream Cheese Temperature: Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling. Avoid lumps!
- Don’t Overmix: When blending the eggs in, just mix until combined. Overmixing can lead to cracks.
- Chill Thoroughly: Be patient and allow the bars to chill properly in the fridge to enhance the creaminess and set the flavors.
- Customize: Feel free to add chocolate chips or nuts to the filling for a fun twist!
Storing and Reheating Tips
These delightful cheesecake bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. If you have leftovers (which, let’s be honest, is a rare occurrence), you can also freeze them! Make sure to wrap individual bars tightly in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe container. They can last up to three months in the freezer. When you’re ready to enjoy again, simply thaw in the fridge overnight, and they will be just as creamy and delicious as the day they were made.
Now it’s your turn to create this luscious dessert! The ultimate indulgence awaits – roll up your sleeves and let’s get blending!
