Strawberry Cheesecake Bars

Anyone out there wondering if these can be made gluten free?

You can definitely make these gluten free. You’ll need to make some swaps but I have no reason to think they won’t come out great with gluten free alternatives.

These strawberry cheesecake bars can use allergy sensitive alternatives without any issues. It’s a pretty versatile recipe so you could probably make it into different flavors if you wanted to try that swap as well!

Here’s what you’ll need to make these easy cheesecake bars:

For the cheesecake you’ll need one set of ingredients and for the crust you’ll need another.

Here’s what you’ll need for the crust, graham crackers, powdered sugar, and butter. You’ll also need some strawberries, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and some extra sliced strawberries for topping!

Find the full amounts and info in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post.

How to make a graham cracker crust:

Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper and sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. 

In a bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, powdered sugar, and melted butter. Stir until combined.

Press the crust mixture into the bottom of the pan using the back of a spatula or bottom of a cup. 

Freeze for 10-12 minutes.

How to make strawberry cheesecake bars filling:

Chop strawberries and place in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave strawberries for 25-30 seconds until warm. Mash the warm strawberries with a fork for about 30 seconds.

Transfer the strawberry mash to a fine mesh strainer with a bowl underneath. Press the strawberries into the strainer allowing the juice to drip into, making 3 to 4 tablespoons of strawberry juice. 

Discard strawberry pulp and seeds.

Using a stand or hand mixer, beat together the cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until smooth. Pour in strawberry juice and mix just until combined.

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on top of the graham cracker crust. Freeze for 2-3 hours.

Once frozen, transfer the cheesecake onto a cutting board. Using a sharp knife cut into squares.

Garnish with a strawberry slice, best served chilled.
